Cobalt (CO)
A gray, hard, magnetic, and somewhat malleable metal. Cobalt is relatively rare and generally obtained as a byproduct of the production of other metals, such as copper. Its most common radioisotope, cobalt-60 (co-60), is used in radiography and medical applications. Co-60 emits beta particles and gamma rays during radioactive decay.
