(wn) | cobalt
n 1: a hard ferromagnetic silver-white bivalent or trivalent
metallic element; a trace element in plant and animal
nutrition [syn: cobalt, Co, atomic number 27] |
cobalt
(elements) | cobalt
Symbol: Co
Atomic number: 27
Atomic weight: 58.993
Light grey transition element. Some meteorites contain small amounts of
metallic cobalt. Generally alloyed for use. Mammals require small
amounts
of cobalt salts. Cobalt-60, an artificially produced radioactive isotope
of Cobalt is an important radioactive tracer and cancer-treatment agent.
Discovered by G. Brandt in 1737.
