No, because steel is a mixture.

True, but more to the point:

Nickel is an element, chemical symbol Ni, chemical element Z = 28, a silvery-white metal, a ferromagnetic metal [you can make magnets with it]. All by itself. Nickel is not a mixture of anything.

Is nickel a silicate or carbonate?

Nickel is a metal. It can be found in a compound as a silicate or carbonate but in its pure form, it is neither. It has many characteristics similar to iron. It is magnetic like iron.

Nickel, as an element, has been known since ancient times. However, it was not discovered as a distinct metal until the 18th century. Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, a Swedish chemist, first isolated nickel as a pure metal in 1751.


Is nickel an ionic solid?

Nickel is a metal and typically exists in a solid metallic form, rather than as an ionic compound. While nickel can form ionic compounds in certain chemical reactions, it is not considered an ionic solid in its pure elemental form.


Is there a metal without nickel in it?

Yes, there are several metals that do not contain nickel, such as copper, silver, gold, platinum, and aluminum. These metals are often used in jewelry and various industries as alternatives for individuals with nickel allergies.


How do you make pure samples of nickel?

One approach would be to reduce nickel oxide in a hydrogen stream.Alternatively, one could oxidize NiS on an oxygen stream to get rid of the volatile sulfur.An alternative approach would be to electrowin the metal from an acid solution, i.e. by electroplating.If you required very high purity Ni, then zone refiningof a cylindrical sample will produce very pure metal.[For example, high purity Tantalum, 99.999%, may be produced by this method.]
