Nickel
| MY NUCLEUS I have twenty-eight protons and twnety-eight electrons in the nucleus. I actually have thirty-one neutrons, and so my mass number or true atomic weight is about 58.6934 grams/mole. I am in Group 10, Period 4, and Block D. One of my isotopes is 61Ni. I have five naturally occuring isotopes. 58Ni, 60Ni, 61Ni, and 62Ni all have sixteen neutrons, but 64Ni has at least seventeen. I have six radiosotopes.   | MY ELECTRONS I have twenty-eight electrons and two valence electrons.  My ground state electron configuration is [Ar].3d8.4s2, and my shell structure is 2.8.16.2. | MY PROPERTIES My name is Nickel, and my symbol is Ni. My standard state is usually solid at 298 K. My color is kind of lustrious, metallic, and I have a silvery tinge. I am classified as metallic and a transition metal, and am available in the following forms: foil, powder, flakes, sheet, wire, mesh, spheres, rods, and "evaporation slugs."  My melting point is at 1455 °C, or just 2651 °F. My boiling point goes up to 2913 °C, or at 5275 °F. The liquid range is at 1458 K. There is no data on my critical temperature and superconduction temperature. |
| MY HOME I am not easily found in humans, although I am an essential trace element in many species that do not include only humans. My human abundance (/ppb by weight) is only 100, and the other (/atoms (C = 1,000,000)) is actually at 11. I will first list the human abundances, the parts per billion by weight, and then the parts per billion by atoms after a slash mark.
| I AM NICKEL!  | MY COMPOUNDS Nickel (II) Fluoride - NiF2 Nickel (II) Chloride 6-Water - NiCl2.6H2O Nickel (II) Chloride - NiCl2 Nickel (II) Bromide - NiBr2 Nickel (II) Iodide - NiI2 Nickel (II) Oxide - NiO Nickel (III) Oxide - Ni2O3 Nickel (II) Sulphide - NiS Nickel Disulphide - NiS2 Nickel Sulphide - Ni3S2 Nickel (II) Selenide - NiSe Nickel (O) Carbonyl - Ni(CO)4 |
| MY STORY In 1751, I was discovered by Axel Fredrik Cronstedt in Sweden. My name, "Nickel," came from the German word, "kupfernickel." It meant "Devil's copper" or "Saint Nicholas's copper."  | MY JOBS  | |
