History and Discovery
Nickel was discovered in 1751 in Sweden. Axel Fredrick Cronstedt was the first one to discover Nickel. He had expected to extracted cooper from his mineral but got none all obtaining instead a white metal called Nickel.
Applications and uses
My element is commonly used with Coinage in the U.S. and Canada, Stainless steel,Nickel planting,Burglar proof vaults,Corrosion resistant alloys, and Cadmium batteries. A specific isotopes of Nickel is 58Ni. Nickel has specific compounds like Nickel oxide (Ni2o3), Nickel fluoride (NiF2), and Nickel bromide (NiBr2).
Fun Facts
Nickel came from the German word 'kupfernickel' meaning devils copper or false copper. It is very useful element, but highly toxic for humans. The first nickel coin of the pure metal was made in 1881.
