Nickel is the chemical element with atomic number 28 and symbol Ni. In the periodic table it is one of the transition metals. It is a silvery white metal and is often used for its resistance to oxidation and conductivity of heat and electricity.[1] It is one of the few magnetic elements (iron and cobalt are the others).
Nickel is often found in coins, wires, meteorites, and steel alloys.
