Elements are determined by their atomic number, which is the the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. The Atomic Mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Therefore we can say that the atomic number is the mass minus the number of neutrons. In this case, this is 107 - 60 = 47.

By checking any standard modern Periodic Table, you can see that element 47 is Silver (Ag).

What is the mass number of Co-60?

Cobalt is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 58.


What does the mass number?

By knowing mass number of the elements we can easily find out the number of neutrons presen in the nuclei.Physical properties of elements somewhat depends on mass number.


Why were there no more than 60 elements on the first periodic table?

The first periodic table, created by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, had no more than 60 elements because that was the number of known elements at the time. It was based on arranging the elements in order of increasing atomic mass while grouping elements with similar properties together.


Can an atom of two different elements have the same mass number?

Yes. The mass number is basic to the different elements, even more useful than the atomic number. (Unless it is an isotope. Isotopes have a different amount of neutrons than the basic element atom which makes a difference in mass number too. So, a difference in mass numbers doesn't always mean it is a different element.)


How are the elements in the modern periodic arranged?

The elements are ordered by their mass number.


Why is the atomic mass number not a whole number?

We can find Atomic Mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.


Why do you subtract the atomic number from the mass number?

We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.

What does the 60 represent in Co-60?

The "60" in Co-60 represents the atomic mass number of the cobalt isotope. It indicates that the cobalt nucleus contains 60 protons and neutrons combined.


What is the mass number and what equation can it be written in?
