nickel

silverElement name:Nickel Element symbol:Ni Atomic number:28 Mass number:58.69 Physical state at room temperature:solid Meaning of name:it means false copper and it originates from german word kupfernickel from deceptive color of ore Use of element:nickel is used for engineering, tubular products, metal goods, building and construction, and electro & electronics Biological use: nickel is used is both essential and toxic for animals and humans. low nni in you can make you sickto much nickel can cause Higher chances of development of lung cancer, nose cancer, larynx cancer and prostate cancer, Sickness and dizziness after exposure to nickel gas, Lung embolism, Respiratory failure, Birth defects, Asthma and chronic bronchitis, Allergic reactions such as skin rashes, mainly from jewellery, Heart disorders Who found nickel: Nickel was discovered by the Swedish chemist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt in the mineral niccolite in 1751. Physical properties of Ni: Nickel is a hard, corrosion resistant metal, can be electroplated onto other metals to form a protective coating and has a density of 8.9g/cc and is combustable, has a melting point of 1726 k and a boiling point of 3005 k. Chemical properties of nickel: Nickel can be turned into a gas and effect plants and animal life and it can alo be melted into a liquid Common compounds of nickel:compounds found containing Nickel are lead nitrate, and nickel carbonyl Common ions: Nickel has a nitrogen ion energize charge Common isotopes:There are 14 known isotopes of nickel, 5 stable and 9 unstable. Natural nickel is a mixture of the 5 stable isotopes. Nickel has andatomic radius of 124 pm and an atomic volume od 6.6 cc/mol How it got its name: Nickel was nameed by germans because the called it false copper because they'd get that when mining nstead of copper. Nickel and silver both share a nitrogen ion charge
