  2. Nickel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel

    Nickel(I) complexes are uncommon, but one example is the tetrahedral complex NiBr(PPh 3) 3. Many nickel(I) complexes have Ni–Ni bonding, such as the dark red diamagnetic K 4 [Ni 2 (CN) 6] prepared by reduction of K 2 [Ni 2 (CN) 6] with sodium amalgam. This compound is oxidized in water, liberating H 2. [44]

  3. Colored fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_fire

    Colored fire is a common pyrotechnic effect used in stage productions, fireworks and by fire performers the world over. Generally, the color of a flame may be red, orange, blue, yellow, or white, and is dominated by blackbody radiation from soot and steam.

  4. Raney nickel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raney_nickel

    Raney nickel is flammable. Nickel metal is classified as "Harmful". Due to its large surface area and high volume of contained hydrogen gas, dry, activated Raney nickel is a pyrophoric material that requires handling under an inert atmosphere. Raney nickel is typically supplied as a 50% slurry in water. Even after reaction, residual Raney ...

  5. Flame test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_test

    The color of the flames also generally depends on temperature and oxygen fed; see flame colors. [5] The procedure uses different solvents and flames to view the test flame through a cobalt blue glass or didymium glass to filter the interfering light of contaminants such as sodium .

  6. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    The color of chemicals is a physical property of chemicals that in most cases comes from the excitation of electrons due to an absorption of energy performed by the chemical. The study of chemical structure by means of energy absorption and release is generally referred to as spectroscopy .

  7. Properties of nonmetals (and metalloids) by group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_nonmetals...

    It is highly flammable and pyrophoric (self-igniting) upon contact with air. White phosphorus has a density of 1.823 g/cm 3 , is soft (MH 0.5) as wax, pliable and can be cut with a knife. It melts at 44.15 °C and, if heated rapidly, boils at 280.5 °C; it otherwise remains solid and transforms to violet phosphorus at 550 °C.

  8. Hazardous Materials Identification System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazardous_Materials...

    Prior to 2002, with HMIS' third edition (HMIS III), both systems used the same colors, blue, red, yellow and white, and used the same criteria for 'flammability'/'Fire Hazard' and 'reactivity'. HMIS retired the yellow reactivity bar due to changes in how NFPA's equivalent, renamed 'Instability', that resulted in it no longer being suitable for ...

  9. Nickel(II) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel(II)_oxide

    Nickel(II) oxide is the chemical compound with the formula NiO. It is the principal oxide of nickel. [4] It is classified as a basic metal oxide. Several million kilograms are produced annually of varying quality, mainly as an intermediate in the production of nickel alloys. [5] The mineralogical form of NiO, bunsenite, is very rare.
