NICK-EL 
If you're from the United States, you know what a nickel is. But do you know about the element nickel? This is another of the common metals that humans use all of the time. A piece of money is only one use. You can find it in alloys, magnets, and pipes. Nickel was named in 1751 by a chemist named Cronstedt, but was in use for thousands of years before that year. When isolated, nickel is a hard, silvery-white metal that is very shiny when polished. It is located in the fourth period/row on the table of elements, nickel is a transition metal sandwiched between cobalt and copper.
