Mendeleev Monday - Atomic Number 28 - Nickel (Ni). Nickel is one of three elements - the others being iron and cobalt - that are naturally (ferro)magnetic at room temperature. About two-thirds of all nickel goes into making stainless steel which is, in turn, used for cutlery, kitchen sinks, and many home appliances. Nickel is also used for the creation of electric vehicle batteries.

Carl Wilhelm Scheele (1742–1786) was a Swedish Pomeranian pharmaceutical chemist who made numerous significant chemical discoveries. Among them is isolating citric acid from lemon juice in 1784, a pivotal moment in understanding the chemistry of sour flavors. His work laid foundational knowledge for the food industry's use of natural and artificial souring agents.

pH strips measuring under 7.0 are used to check acidity.

Today cobalt is commonly used in rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries, industrial alloys for aerospace engines, and power plants.

(Fe) comes from the Latin word for iron, "ferrum." Iron is the second most abundant metal on Earth and forms about 80% of the planet's inner and outer cores. 98% of iron ore is used to make steel. Pure iron and iron alloys are used to make permanent magnets found in electric motors, generators, loudspeakers and electrical transformers. As cast iron it is common in cookware, pipes, and engine parts.

About 90% of all mined Manganese is used to make steel. It is also used in fertilizers, during water treatment, paints, and both alkaline and lithium-ion batteries.
