Cobalt has a mass number of 59 and an atomic number of 27. A student wants to create a model of a cobalt atom. Which statement about the model is correct?

B. The model should show 27 protons and 32 neutrons, I think.

I’m making a f in this class plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help

Kai is correct

Someone PLEASE HELP I BEG YOU PLEASE!!!!

I need to know i dont understand science

The model should show 27 protons and 27 neutrons.

The model should show 27 protons and 32 neutrons.

The model should show 59 protons and 27 neutrons.

The model should show 32 protons and 59 neutrons.

bruvv

the atomic number is the number of protons so 27 protons and 32 neutrons

(Yes I do know it was answered but just saying the atomic number is protons.)

m and kia are correct

Yes, you are correct. The atomic number of cobalt is 27, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus. The mass number of cobalt is 59, which represents the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Therefore, an atom of cobalt contains 27 protons and 32 neutrons.
