This sounds like a home work question. But as I don't know what your teacher wants for an answer. I will discuss what I know.

Nickel is:

A high hardness metal

Can be and is used in alloys

Is relatively inexpensive for its properties

Is very resistant to corrosion

Can be plated to other materials (The coating system most used in automotive)

This all makes it ideal to coat other materials to increase the wear resistance

In alloys it tends to make the material it is combined with harder wearing

All in all very useful

How many nanometers thick is a nickel?

Nickel is a chemical element and a solid metal, so it does not have a specific thickness like a film or layer would. However, if you're referring to a layer of nickel, such as a nickel coating, it can vary widely in thickness, often measured in nanometers. For example, thin nickel films can be deposited in thicknesses ranging from a few nanometers to several micrometers, depending on the application.
