cobalt, metallic chemical element; symbol Co; at. no. 27; at. wt. 58.9332; m.p. 1,495°C; b.p. about 2,870°C; sp. gr. 8.9 at 20°C; valence +2 or +3. Cobalt is a silver-white, lustrous, hard, brittle metal. It is a member of group VIII of the periodic table. Like iron, it can be magnetized. It is similar to iron and nickel in its physical properties. The element is active chemically, forming many compounds, e.g., the series of cobaltous and cobaltic salts and the complex cobalt ammines derived from cobaltic salts and ammonia. Cobalt yellow, green, and blue are pigments of high quality that contain cobalt; another blue pigment, smalt, is made by powdering a fused mixture of cobalt oxide, potassium carbonate, and sand; these pigments are often used for coloring glass and ceramics. Cobalt chloride, used as an invisible ink, is almost colorless in dilute solution when applied to paper. Upon heating it undergoes dehydration and turns blue, becoming colorless again when the heat is removed and water is taken up. The element rarely occurs uncombined in nature but is often found in meteoric metal. It is a constituent of the minerals cobaltite and smaltite and of other ores, usually in association with other metals. Pure cobalt metal is prepared by reduction of its compounds by aluminum (the Goldschmidt process), by carbon, or by hydrogen. It is a component of several alloys, including the high-speed steels carboloy and stellite, from which very hard cutting tools are made. It is a component of some stainless steels, and of high-temperature alloys for use in jet engines. Alnico, an alloy of cobalt, aluminum, nickel, and other metals, is used to make high-strength, permanent magnets. As an element in the diet of sheep, cobalt prevents a disease called swayback and improves the quality of the wool. A radioactive isotope, cobalt-60 (with gamma ray emission 25 times that of radium), is prepared by neutron bombardment. It is used for cancer therapy and in industry for detecting flaws in metal parts. See hydrogen bomb. Cobalt was discovered in 1735 by Georg Brandt, a Swedish chemist.

If it Kimuraite then it's CaY2(CO3)4·6(H2O)

Becuase of variable oxidation states of the metals.  You need to make a distinction between, for instance, iron (II) carbonate, FeCO3, and iron (III) carbonate, Fe2(CO3)3.  (The older nomenclature here would have been ferrous and ferric.)

Obviously, Cobalt, Iron & Nickel.But its the alloy Alnico used to make permanent magnets.

The representative elements are denoted with the last letter of "A" in the group names and there are eight major groups. Some of the more notable groupings are listed as follow: \n\nGroup IA (alkali metals) consists Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr \n\nGroup IIA (alkali earth metals) consists of Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra. \n\nGroups IIIA, IVA, and VA elements are located close to the "staircase" that divides the metals on the left and the non-metals on the right. Most elements located along the "staircase" are classified as metalloids, e.g. B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, and Po. \n\nGroup VIA consists of O, S, Se, Te, and Po. \n\nGroup VIIA (halogens) consists of F, Cl, Br, I, and At. \n\nGroup VIIIA (rare gases) consists of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn.

tetraquadithiocyano cobaltate(III)\n\nThat's tetraqua dithiocyano, which looks confusing because it has a "quad" in it if there's no space. It comes from the four waters (tetraqua) and the two thiocyanates (dithiocyano). Put the anion after the name with a space.\n\nBy the way, the only reason there's a space between cyanocobaltate is because Yahoo Answers cuts off a long word and replaces it with "...". Not sure why.

Not sure abou the Cobalt SS, but I had to drive a basic cobalt from a rental company after crashing my daily driver.  The car drove nice and did pretty good on mileage.  From a general perspective, was a pretty nice car.

I actually asked an inorganic chemist the very same question, and this is what he told me:\nI seperated out the section that I thought was the best reason he gave, and I think it's important to read the last paragraph.  His other reasoning seems good, too.  I'm not trying to say it doesn't make sense.  I just think the part I seperate is probably what they had in mind when designating the groups.\n\n When you say they are put into the same "group" I assume you mean the group B numbering within the transition metals columns, which would make the Fe, Co and Ni triads all part of group VIIIB.  Now with the main group, also termed group A, the significance of the roman numeral to signify the standard oxidation state of the element is obvious.  The oxidation states get more complex in the transition metal series and frequently multiple oxidation states are observed.  The Cu triad (Cu, Ag, Au) is termed IB due to stable +1 states that are common especially silver which is only found as elemental or +1, where copper may alos be found as a +2 and Au may be found as +3.  The Zn triad (Zn, Cd, Hg) are exclusively +2 and are thus labled IIB group.  You then skip back to the begining of the transition metals and number across due to stable +3 and +4 for Sc triad and Ti triad respectively.  There are a few reasons why in the classical B grouping Fe, Co, and Ni are lumped into a "group" in the middle of the transition metal series.  First as you go across the transition metals the +2 state is becomeing continuously more stable and prevalent.  For Fe there are several oxidations states that are common, however +2 and +3 are most stable and common.  When you move over to Co the +2 becomes the dominant oxidation state with +3 also commmon and very rare examples of higher oxidation states.  When you move over to Ni it is almost exclusively +2 or +3 with rare exceptions.  The second point that I would consider in grouping them together would be their adherence to the 18 elecron rule.  These elements in the middle of the transition metall series follow the rule almost always where earlier elements frequently violate the rule with lower electron counts or even odd number counts and the later elemnts are frequently content with 16 or even 14 electron counts, the later condition is common for group IIB.  \n\n\nAnother consideration to give this group the lable VIIIB is the d8 configuration that is common (Fe(0), Co(I), and Ni(II)) are all d8 systems and frequently analogous compounds can be made with the different metals.  \n\nI hope this shed some light on your question.  I also should note that the system that groups these elements together is an older group numbering system and the new and current grouping system avoids the grouping by groups A and B and simply numbers across the table from 1 to 18, with groups 3-12 being the transition metals.

Furbies are actually related to Gremlins and Tribbles. Tribbles came from Space on the Original Star Trek Series "The Trouble with Tribbles". They cross bred with Gremlins and Furbies were born. ;-p

Period 6 is the 6th row, so elements from 56 to 86, including Lanthanoids.\nI would have said Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Oxygen or Silicium, but none are in the 6th period.  Maybe you meant the 6th group?  As in column?  Then iy would be oxygen.

Possibly. The only metals that are ferromagnetic are iron, nickel, and cobalt. Selenium is a completely different element, so if it's pure selenium, it won't show up. \n\nHowever, the aztecs probably didn't have pure selenium - it likely contained some iron. So it would show up.
