Cobalt, elemental symbol Co, silvery white ferromagnetic metal, slightly silvery white on surface, 4th period in Periodic Table, Group VIII, atomic number 27, atomic weight 58.9332, hexagonal close packed, common valence of +2 , +3. Cobalt is a shiny steel gray metal, relatively hard and brittle, ferromagnetic, magnetic disappeared when heated to 1150 ℃. Cobalt has valences of +2 and +3. It does not interact with water at room temperature and is stable in humid air. Cooled to CoO when heated in air to above 300 ° C, and burned into Co3O4 when whitened. Hydrogen reduction method made of fine metallic cobalt powder in the air can spontaneous combustion of cobalt oxide. Cobalt is an important raw material for the production of heat-resistant alloys, hard alloys, anti-corrosion alloys, magnetic alloys and various cobalt salts.
