Nickel is a quite inert metal, which often is used for plating, but frequently causes allergic reactions on the skins of many people. Nickel is ferromagnetic and, together with iron, forms the inner core of the Earth, which is a big magnet. The rather rare nickel 62 is the most stable isotope, the one with the highest binding energy.
