Nickel is generally considered to be a relatively hard metal, with a hardness rating of about 4 on the Mohs scale. While it can be malleable and ductile, allowing it to be shaped and drawn into wires, it is not classified as "soft" compared to metals like lead or tin. In its pure form, nickel is more resistant to deformation and wear. Thus, it is often used in various applications requiring strength and durability.

What is the vickers hardness of electroplated nickel?
Varies depending on the electroylite solution used (several). Can be hard to soft. Electroless Nickel is typically a more advanced form of (industrial) plating and the low phosphorus variety can achieve hardness's up to Rockwell "C" rated or HRC 60 which is very hard, like hardened steel. So, is it an industrial coating (electroless) or is it being plated over steel to receive a chrome finish (automobile bumper)? Typically the introduction of impurities into nickel actually makes it harder as pure nickel is quite soft and malleable. Hope this helps.
Is the outer Core soft or hard?
The outer core of the Earth is actually liquid, made up of molten iron and nickel. This liquid layer is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.
Is a nickel solid silver?
No. Nickels are called nickels because they contain nickel (and a lot of copper, too.) From mid-1942 to 1945 nickels did contain a small amount of silver because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are the ONLY ones that have any silver in them. And in any case, solid silver is far too soft for use in circulating coins. It always has to be alloyed with some other metal, usually copper, for hardness.
