Is the chemical element nickel magnetic?

The chemical element nickel is magnetic.

Nickel has an atomic number of 28 and a relative atomic mass of 58.7 1. In the chemical element list, nickel belongs to the group VIII B element in the fourth cycle time. Pure metallic nickel has a silvery luster, excellent ductility, corrosion resistance and magnetism, and is an indispensable metallic material in the development trend of contemporary national defense science and technology, aerospace industry and everyone's daily life.

Conditions for elements to be magnetic

1, there are unpaired electrons outside the nucleus, which makes the atom have electron spin magnetic moment;

2. The ratio of the distance Rab between nuclei to the distance R between electrons participating in the exchange (the radius of unfilled inner electron layer) is greater than 3, so that the spin magnetic moments of electrons are arranged in the same direction, forming magnetic domains and spontaneously magnetizing.
