Nickel is a hard, silvery-white metal whose strength, ductility and resistance to heat and corrosion make it extremely useful for the development of a wide variety of materials — from wires to coins to military equipment.

Nickel is the fifth most abundant element on Earth. However, it is 100 times more concentrated below the Earth's crust than in it, according to Chemicool. In fact, nickel is believed to be the second most abundant element in the Earth's inner core, with iron being the first by a large margin.

Just the facts
-----------------
Atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus): 28
Atomic symbol (on the periodic table of the elements): Ni
Atomic weight (average mass of the atom): 58.6934
Density: 8.912 grams per cubic centimeter
Phase at room temperature: solid
Melting point: 2,651 degrees Fahrenheit (1,455 degrees Celsius)
Boiling point: 5,275.4 F (2,913 C)
Number of isotopes (atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons): 5 stable; 26 unstable
Most common isotope: NI-58 (68.077 percent natural abundance)


Since nickel is such a sturdy and corrosion-resistant material, it is an excellent metal for coin-making. The first coin to include the metal nickel was the one-cent piece Flying Eagle, an American coin made of 12 percent nickel and 88 percent copper. This coin, which was also the first to go by the name "nickel," only circulated two years, between 1857-1858.
The five-cent nickel was introduced a few years later in 1866 just after the Civil War came to an end. Prior to the war, most coins were still made of gold and silver, which gave them intrinsic value. As rumors of war began to spread, people started hoarding these valuable coins, causing the economy to take a nosedive. To compensate for the lack of coins, people started trading stamps and notes that had been issued by banks and shops. Even Union soldiers were being paid with notes by the government.

In the United States, nickels, dimes, quarters and half-dollars are still made of a copper-nickel alloy. The nickel coin, quite aptly, contains the most nickel at 25 percent, while the other coins are 8.33 percent nickel.

A proverb (from Latin: proverbium) is a simple and concrete saying, popularly known and repeated, that expresses a truth based on common sense or experience. They are often metaphorical. A proverb that describes a basic rule of conduct may also be known as a maxim. Proverbs fall into the category of formulaic language.


Proverbs play very important roles in different types of literary works. The most important function of proverbs is to teach and educate the audience. They often contain an expert advice with a role for educating the readers on what they may face if they would do something. Hence, proverbs play a didactic role, as they play a universal role in teaching wisdom and sagacity to the common people. Since proverbs are usually metaphorical and indirect; therefore, they allow writers to express their message in a less harsh way.

Use of Popular Proverbs in Everyday Speech


Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
All that glitters is not gold.
An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.
The old horse in the stable still yearns to run
