Description
Cobalt is a brittle, hard, silver-grey transition metal with magnetic properties similar to those of iron (ferromagnetic). Cobalt is present in meteorites. Ore deposits are found in Republic Democratic of Congo, Morocco and Canada. The name is derived from the German word 'kobald', meaning goblin.
Properties
Cobalt is a steel grey, shiny, hard metal with a very high melting point. Its chemical behavior resembles that of iron and nickel. Due to its nature, cobalt forms alloys with many elements which are highly resistant to corrosion. Cobalt is ferromagnetic at room temperature.
