Cobalt (Co) has an atomic mass of 59 and an atomic number of 27. Which statement correctly describes an atom of cobalt? A. An atom of cobalt contains more neutrons than protons.
B. An atom of cobalt contains more electrons than protons.
C. An atom of cobalt contains the same number of neutrons and protons.
D. An atom of cobalt contains the same number of neutrons, electrons and protons.

A

Explanation:

27 us the number of protons when we subtract 27 from 59 it will be 32 because a mass number is the sum of proton and neutron but tell u more on the comment

the answer is b. dilution

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
