Density of Nickel {2022 update}

Everything has mass and volume, and therefore density. So it is expected that the smallest piece of matter, like an atom of Nickel has it too. But what is the density of an atom of Ni?

Note: Learn more about the density here.

In the case of Nickel , density is 8.90 g/cm³. However, there are interesting facts about Nickel that most don't know about. Also check the kg/m³ conversion...

Nickel Data

Nickel Density g/cm³

8.90 g/cm³

kg/m³

8900 kg/m³

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Used in electroplating and metal alloys because of its resistance to corrosion. Also in nickel-cadmium batteries; as a catalyst and for coins.

Atomic Mass

58,6934

Sources

Chiefly found in pentlandite [(Ni,Fe)9S8] ore. The metal is produced by heating the ore in a blast furnace which replaces the sulfur with oxygen. The oxides are then treated with an acid that reacts with the iron not the nickel.

Atomic Number

28

Atomic Symbol

Ni

Name Origin

German: kupfernickel (false copper).

Discovery

Discovered By: Axel Cronstedt
Year: 1751
Location: Sweden

Description

Hard, malleable, silvery-white metal. Found in the earth's crust in portions averaging 70 ppm. It can be polished to a lustrous finish. Virtually no corrosion under normal conditions.

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Density of Nickel (Ni) [& g/cm3, kg/m3, Uses, Sources ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
