Element belongs to: platinum family
Origin of name Kobalt or Kobold
Discovered by Georg Brandt in 1735
Interesting info:
(1)Cobalt compounds have been used for centuries to impart a rich blue color to glass,glazes and ceramics.

(2)Cobalt has been detected in Egyptial sculpture and persian jewelry from the millennium BC,in the ruins of pompeir. Also in China.

(3)The word cobalt is derived from the erman Kobalt from Kobold meaning Goblin.

(4)Cobalt 60 is used in cancer therapy. It is a gamma ray source.

I hope that helped alot i did this for science to get a better mark and i did well hope that help.

What is the freezing point of Colbat?

in which conditions did george brandt work when he isolated cobalt?
which process did he use?
in what kind of laboratory did he work?

(e.g. the curies worked in a laboratory with very poor hygenic conditions)

thank you.

	How did Georg Brandt discover cobalt? Please Answer A.S.A.P.

he didn't really discover it he just isolated it. it has been used by pretty much everyone even the persians and the egyptians!

	what is the element cobalt used for in ever day life. please help!!!

Cobalt is used in Stainless Steel and magnets, glass, cutting tools, jet turbines, generators etc. It is also used in medicine, it has Vitamin B12 and helps the blood.

	How did Georg Brandt discover cobalt?

He didn't really discover it, he only isolated it. He was the one that found that Cobalt is the reason of the blue tint found in glass. Cobalt had been used for thousands of years before that point. The Egyptians, Persians and even the Greeks used it. Brandt is quoted to have said that there were 6 metals he was interested in in his experiments, namely Cobalt. Other than that no one knows how he isolated it or why...

	it would help if you could show the color of the element. (ie neon is yellow and oxygen is red.)

silver
