Raney Nickel? (7440-02-0)

The Nickel, with the cas registry number 7440-02-0, has the systematic name of nickel(2+). For being a kind of silver white, hard, malleable metal chunks or grey powder, it is stable in massive form and may react violently with titanium, ammonium nitrate, potassium perchlorate, hydrazoic acid. Besides, it is incompatible with acids, oxidizing agents, sulfur.

The characteristics of this chemical are as follows: (1)#H bond acceptors: 0; (2)#H bond donors: 0; (3)#Freely Rotating Bonds: 0; (4)Polar Surface Area: 0; (5)Exact Mass: 57.935348; (6)MonoIsotopic Mass: 57.935348; (7)Heavy Atom Count: 1; (8)Covalently-Bonded Unit Count: 1.

As to its usage, it is used widely to make coins and nickel steel for armor plates and a component in Nichrome(R), and is also used as the burglar-proof vaultsPermalloy(R)?and constantan. Besides, it is extensively used for making stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant alloys, such as Inconel(R),Invar(R),and the Hastelloys(R).

When you are dealing with this chemical, you should be very cautious. For one thing, it is irritant which may cause inflammation to the skin or other mucous membranes and may cause sensitization by skin contact. For another thing, it is harmful which may cause damage to health and may have limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect. In addition, it is corrosive which may destroy living tissue on contact and it may causes burns. Beside all these, it is highly flammable which may catch fire in contact with air, only needing brief contact with an ignition source, and it has a very low flash point or evolve highly flammable gases in contact with water. Then for being very toxic to aquatic organisms, it may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

Therefore, you should take different measures to deal with different cases. First important thing is to wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. And if in case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice and if in case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label whenever possible.) When comes to its storage, keep it away from sources of ignition and heat. Then remember that this material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste. What's more, avoid releasing to the environment and you could also refer to special instructions / safety data sheets.

In addition, you could convert the following datas into the molecular structure:
(1)Canonical SMILES: [Ni]
(2)InChI: InChI=1S/Ni
(3)InChIKey: PXHVJJICTQNCMI-UHFFFAOYSA-N?
