Answer
Protons: 27
Neutrons: 33
Work Step by Step
The atomic number, as shown by the periodic table, of Cobalt is 27, meaning that there are 27 protons (the atomic number is the number of protons). Because it is Cobalt-60, the atomic mass number of this isotope is 60 amu. Because both protons and neutrons weigh one amu while electrons are essentially weightless, this means that there must be 33 neutrons (27 protons+33 neutrons= 60 amu).
