----------
• Cobalt is placed before nickel in the modern periodic table because the atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons present in that particular element. Cobalt has 27 protons while nickel has 28 protons.
• But the mass of cobalt is more than that of nickel because the isotopes of colbalt have higher mass than the mass of isotopes of nickel.
• we know that atomic mass is equal to the average of total atomic masses of the isotopes.
• So, cobalt was placed after nickel in mendeleev periodic table which caused problems.
