Cobalt

=__[|COBALT]__= **Atomic Information:** **This is cobalt, it can be found in the [|periodic table] at number 27. That my atomic number. The atomic number is a way to organize elements. The atomic number is actually the number of protons or electrons in an atom. The atomic mass for cobalt is 59. The atomic mass is, the mass of an element. Cobalt has 27 proton and electrons and 32 neutrons. To find the neutrons you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. There are the same number of protons and electrons in an atom.**
 * History:**
 * G. Brandt, found Cobalt on the year 1735. I was Originally discovered in Egypt in a statue.**


 * Physical Characteristics:**
 * Cobalt is very hard and lustrous. It’s a gray metal and it gives a blue color to some ceramics. Cobalt is very easily magnetized. My melting point is 1495 c. The melting point is the point in heat when the element starts to melt. The boiling point is 2927 c, that’s when the element starts to boil. The density is 900g/cm3.**


 * Chemical Characteristics:**
 * Cobalt combines slowly with oxygen, but does not catch fire or burn unless it is like powder. It reacts with most acids to hydrogen gas.**


 * Uses:**
 * Cobalt incredibly useful, it’s in your vitamins, so in your food sometimes. Cobalt is also used to make magnetic alloy “[|Alnico] ”. Cobalt can be used for atomic bombs but not all cobalt is radioactive. Most of it isn’t. I am very helpful to spy’s, because they use cobalt for invisible ink. But you can see the message later with fire under the paper but SHORTLEY and GENTALY! You don’t want to burn the paper. I am the most abundant in the Congo and also in Egypt.**
