General information about nickel

General Information

Nickel is chemical element number 28, designated in D. I. Mendeleev's periodic table by the symbol Ni. It is a shiny white-silver metal with atomic weight 58, valence I, III. Its melting point is 1453 °C, and its boiling point is 2140 °C. Nickel is very hard, but is easy to polish and forge. Like iron, nickel is magnetically attracted. Ni is similar to cobalt and iron in its properties. Nickel is resistant to weather, soil and some acids, as it is protected by a tough surface oxide film. But this metal is readily soluble in nitric acid. Ni(_NO3)2 nitrate turns solution green. The greatest practical value has sulfur-nickel vitriol _NiSO4, which forms emerald-green beautiful crystals. When heated to 230 °C, the crystals lose water and turn a grayish-yellow color.

Use of

This metal is used in almost all branches of industry. In the nuclear power industry it is used as high temperature protective cladding to protect uranium rods from corrosion in nuclear reactors.

At the same time, it is not recommended to replace silverware with nickel because it can cause allergies. Nickel powder is an active catalyst that speeds up many chemical processes. similar to palladium and platinum, so Ni, as a less expensive material, is widely used in hydrogenation as a catalyst. Of all the nickel compounds, Ni2 O3 oxide, which is used in the production of nickel-cadmium batteries, has the most important practical value.
