Co is the symbol for element cobalt.  Atomic number of Co is 27.
1st shell has s orbital and can hold up to 2 electrons.
2nd shell has s and p orbital and can hold upto 8 electrons 
3rd shell has s, p and d orbital and can hold upto 18 electrons 
In Co electronic configuration upto p orbital in 3rd energy shell is
1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
After 3p orbital, electrons start filling in the s orbital in 4th energy shell as 4s orbital has lower energy than 3d therefore it fills 4s before 3d, after it fills 2 electrons in 4s, remaining electrons fill 3d orbital 

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁷
in the 3d subshell there are 7 electrons

decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produce water and oxygen . calculate the volume of O2 formed from the decomposition of 150 mL
Ugo [173]

Explanation:

2H2O2 => 2H2O + O2

Moles of hydrogen peroxide = 0.150dm³ * (0.02mol/dm³) = 0.003mol .

Moles of oxygen = 0.0015mol.

Volume of oxygen = 0.0015mol * (22.4dm³/mol) = 0.0336dm³.
