Line 1: − ==Nickel (element)== − − ==Nickel (US coin)== − A nickel is a [[coin]] worth five [[cents]]. It is currently made of [[cupronickel]]. During [[World War II]], nickel was needed for the war effort, and the composition was made up of [[copper]], [[silver]], and [[manganese]]. The nickel currently features [[Thomas Jefferson]] on the obverse side, and [[Monticello]] on the reverse. − [[Category:Coins]]

'''Nickel''' is the [[chemical]] element with [[atomic number]] 28 and symbol '''Ni'''. In the [[periodic table of the elements|periodic table]] it is one of the transition metals. It is a silvery white metal and is often used for its resistance to [[oxidation]] and conductivity of heat and electricity.<ref>http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/Ni/key.html</ref> It is one of the few magnetic elements ([[iron]] and [[cobalt]] are the others).
