Garnierite is a common rock containing this element, and a technique for extracting it involves reacting this element's oxide with a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas to form its tetracarbonyl.
Garnierite is a common rock containing this element, and a technique for extracting it involves reacting this element's oxide with a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas to form its tetracarbonyl. This element's isotope-62 has the highest binding energy per nucleon of any isotope for any element, and one alloy of this element is the primary constituent in a hydrogenation catalyst  named for Raney which is used in the (*) Mond process. This element forms austensitic stainless steel when combined with chromium in an iron alloy, and it's commonly found with cadmium or its hydride in rechargeable batteries. For ten points, name this element with atomic number 28 and chemical symbol Ni.
