Did you know that Nickel only makes up 0.0007% of our Earth's crust? 4.5 billion years ago Nickel made up our planet but as time went on dust and rocks piled on the earth and that pushed most of the nickel inside the earth's core because it was so heavy. This element was discovered in the 18th century by a Swedish chemist named Axel Fredrick Cronstedt.In addition to that, nickel got its name from the german word "nickel" which means a name from the devil. Oxides that are used in it are things like nickel oxide and dinickle troxide. A fluoride that is used is nickel fluoride. There are other things that are used too but way too many to mention. An interesting fact about nickel is around 2 billion years ago a meteoroid made up of this element swerved into Ontario, Canada. This meteoroid was going 47 miles a second and made a crater that went 7.5 miles wide. The crater was an oval which went 37 miles across. The reason it was so heavy is because nickel is made up of a metal. Things today that's used with this kinda of metal is stainless steel(which is quite common), power tools and emergency power supplies. Nickel is an element that plays in important role on the periodic table.
