In the United States and Canada, a nickel is a coin worth five cents. Metallic chemical element, one of the transition elements, chemical symbol Ni, atomic number
A hard, malleable, ductile metal It occurs naturally in all parts of the environment including plants and animals It is used in alloys, electrical catalysts for hydrogenation of oils, coins, and magnetic and electrical contacts Nickel can be soluble or insoluble in water depending on the chemical and physical properties of the water body In soil, it is extremely persistent It can cause dermatitis, and ingestion can cause nausea and vomiting Nickel is a Group A, human carcinogen
{i} coin worth 5 cents (used in USA and Canada); (Ni) hard silvery metallic pliable element used in metal alloys (Chemistry)
An alloying element used in stainless steels to enhance ductility and corrosion resistance
a hard malleable ductile silvery metallic element that is resistant to corrosion; used in alloys; occurs in pentlandite and smaltite and garnierite and millerite plate with nickel; "nickel the plate
A silvery, hard, ductile, ferromagnetic, metallic element used in alloys, in corrosion-resistant surfaces and batteries, and for electroplating Nickel is one of the heavy metals found in the Earth's core
Occurs naturally in soils, groundwater and surface waters and is often used in electroplating, stainless steel, and alloy products It generally gets into water from mining and refining operations Measured in µg/L or ppb The MCL for nickel is 0 1 mg/L or ppm The Health Advisory Level is 200 µg/L or ppb
