Nickel (atomic symbol: Ni, atomic number: 28) is a Block D, Group 4, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 58.6934. Nickel Bohr Model. The number of electrons in each of nickel's shells is [2, 8, 16, 2] and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d84s2. Nickel was first discovered by Alex Constedt in 1751. The nickel atom has a radius of 124 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 184 pm. In its elemental form, nickel has a lustrous metallic silver appearance. Nickel is a hard and ductile transition metal that is considered corrosion-resistant because of its slow rate of oxidation. Elemental Nickel. Nickel powder is a powder of nickel metal. Nickel powder is gray irregular powder, easily oxidized in moist air. Usually, it can be divided into two types: Carbonyl Nickel Powder and Electrolytic Nickel Powder. It can be widely used in Alloy, Functional Materials, and Electroplate & Battery because of its excellent performance in these fields. Different content of nickel and particle size have huge influence on the price of Nickel powder.
