Chemical Properties^^^^ :)
Nickel is the fifth most common element making up the earth. Although most of the nickel is inaccessible in the core of the earth, nickel occurs extensively in the earth's crust.
It is essential for healthy plant life. Nickel is found in most vegetables, fruits and nuts - and in food products derived from them, for example - chocolate, wine.
they all weigh the same
German nickel or nickel silver is an alloy that contains nickel, zinc and copper. That makes it a type of brass which is an alloy of copper and zinc. Pure nickel is an element, not an alloy.
E.P. brass is not real silver. It means that it's electroplated brass, nickel, copper or zinc. E.P. brass is usually stamped on the bottom of the object.
Yes they can. Brass is an alloy of Copper and Zinc. Most jewelry made of gold is a combination of Gold, Silver, Copper and sometimes zinc or nickel
Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc, while nickel is an element.
Brass IS an alloy of copper and zinc Copper and zinc are pure metals (elements)
The metals silver, copper and nickel are elements. It is brass that is an alloy, and copper and zinc are what make it up.

usually either yellow brass or nickel silver
Yellow brass tends to be the brightest and warmest, red or 'rose' brass tends to be more mellow, and nickel silver tends to have the harshest (but not necessarily bad) sound of the three. It all depends on the player though, rose brass can be bright if the player wants it to be.
Nickel silver, German silver, Argentan, new silver, nickel brass, albata, alpacca of steel sheet metal; for example, the famous Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost of 1907.

Most are, yes. The reason they're called brass instruments is because they're usually made of brass. I've seen fiberglass sousaphones and plastic trombones, but those are designed specifically for use in marching bands, as those materials aren't as affected by weather and temperature as brass.
Silver plating is very common on brass instruments, mainly on intermediate and professional models. It's thinner and more lightweight than lacquer, and doesn't wear off as easily. Nickel isn't as common as silver, but it's still used on some horns.
stainless steel, aluminum, brass, zinc, or a nickel-silver alloy.
Only iron, nickel, and cobalt have "magnetic properties" thus brass, copper, and aluminum tools do not.
yes they are, but steel brass and bronze are mixtures of elements
