(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The atomic number and the atomic weight of Cobalt present in Vitamin-B12 have to be given.

Concept introduction;

Atomic number (Z):

Atomic number of an element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element.

Mass number (A):

Mass number of an element is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of protons and the number of electrons in Cobalt has to be given.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The element oxygen has three naturally occurring isotopes, with 8,9, and 10 neutrons in the nucleus, respectively. (a) write the full chemical symbols for these three isotopes. (b) Describe the similarities and differences between the three kinds of atoms of oxygen.
(a) Calculate the number of electrons in a small, electrically neutral silver pin that has a mass of 8.0 g. Silver has 47 electrons per atom, and its molar mass is 107.87 g/mol. (b) Imagine adding electrons to the pin until the negative charge has the very large value 2.00 mC. How many electrons are added for every 109 electrons already present?
(a) Atoms are very small compared to objects on the macroscopic scale. The radius of a vanadium atom is 131 pm. What is this value in meters and in centimeters? cm (b) The mass of a single vanadium atom is 8.46×10-23 g. Suppose enough V atoms were lined up like beads on a string to span a distance of 44.7 cm ( 18 atoms inches). How many atoms would be required? What mass in grams of V would be used? Could you weigh out this amount of vanadium using a typical laboratory balance? (c) Taking the density of vanadium metal to be 6.08 g/cm³, calculate the mass of metal needed to form a piece of V wire with the same length as the distance in b, but with a diameter of 1.00 mm. Hint: The volume of a cylinder is T times its radius squared times its height. (V = T r² h) How many vanadium atoms does this represent? atoms
