Nickel Sulphide

I can be very deceiving so when you look at me look carefully,  but I'm a very beautifull silvery white metal that can be known as kupfernickel (false copper), the DEVILS copper, and St. Nicholas copper.  I had the honor in receiving these wonderful names by Baron Axel Federick Cronstedt in 1751.  During that time I was worth a lot $$$ because I was used for turning glass into a green color.  When Mr. Cronstedt was trying to extract what he thought was copper from my friend element called niccolite, it turned out to be a white metal that he soon named Nickel.  In Dutch it is spelled Nikkel, in Spain its spelled Niquel, and in Italy it's spelled Nichel; as you can see there are many different forms about how to spell my name.  However, the most commonly known way to say my name is Nickel, this type of spelling is also found in four other countries: England, Germany, Sweden, and France.  (WOW I'm just so commonly known there!!!!)  Now if you were to weight me my average weight, is decent compared to all the other elements my atomic mass is 58.69g; I have 28 protons and 31 neutrons, so I'm not to heavy.   I also have -28 electrons and I have four shells of electrons. My atomic radius for a s orbit is 1.276E-9 extremely tiny.  My most natural isotope form would be Ni-58 and this part of me is 89% natural abundance, Ni-60 has and abundance of 0% of a natural abundance, Ni-61 has a natural abundance of 6%, Ni-62 has a natural abundance of 17%, and finally Ni-64 has a natural abundance of 6%.  In the entire universe there is probably 60,000 ppb of little me's floating around and on Earth's crust there is about 90,000 ppb.  With there bring so much of me I can combine with my friends to make an even more extraordinary element, such as nickel diflouride: NiFl2, nickel dichloride: NiCl2, nickel diiodie: NiI2, nickel sulphide: NiS and many many more. 

 I found it very interesting how the five cent nickel is only made up with 25% of nickel, I thought they'd put a little more of me in to truly call it a nickel, I mean if I'm going to be all over the world I want more credit.  I'm also used for stainless steal coating which looks fabulous in any part of a home.   I can very much be used to protect people such as being coated over steel armour plate and a burglar-proof vaults.  I can turn glass green!!! I'm used in batteries as well as electroplating. 
WELL thats a lot about me, Nickel, I hope you enjoyed learning a little about me :) remember I'm #28 on the periodic table of elements
bye!!!
