About Cobalt (Co)

Symbol: Co
Atomic number: 27
Atomic mass: 58.933194
Element category: Transition metal
Cobalt is a hard, lustrous, silvery, brittle metal and exhibits magnetic properties. Its measured physical parameters fall within the range recorded for iron and nickel.
Cobalt is utilised in specialised alloys, magnets and magnetic materials. Cobalt alloys resist corrosion and wear and are employed in gas turbine aircraft engines and other applications that require operation at elevated temperatures. Samarium-cobalt magnets are used as permanent magnets.
As cobalt is chemically active, it forms a variety of compounds. Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) is frequently used in the cathodes of lithium-ion batteries. Several compounds serve as catalysts in chemical reactions. Cobalt pigments have been in use for centuries.
