List of Metals with their physical and chemical properties

List of Metals - Physical and Chemical properties of Metals
The definition of the term metals is as follows: Metals are chemical elements with general characteristics and similar Physical and Chemical Properties under normal conditions. The study of metals is called metallurgy.

Not all of the metals have the properties and characteristics below. Many elements may be classified as metals according to one set of properties and as non-metals according to another. Examples: Lead is very soft. Mercury is a liquid. Elements classified as Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals.

The Element Nickel

What is Nickel as on the Periodic Table? Definition of the Nickel Element
A silvery, hard, ductile, ferromagnetic (easily magnetized) metallic element used in alloys, in corrosion-resistant surfaces and batteries, and for electroplating. Most nickel compounds are blue or green. Nickel occurs sparingly in nature in minerals such as pentlandite and niccolite. It is present in most meteorites. Nickel is used especially for mixing with other metals and for plating. Nickel is of the Iron group and it takes on a high polish. It is a fairly good conductor of heat and electricity. The Atomic Number of this element is 28 and the Element Symbol is Ni.
