Nickel(II) chloride (or just nickel chloride), is the chemical compound NiCl2. The anhydrous salt is yellow, but the more familiar hydrate NiCl2·6H2O is green. It is very rarely found in nature as mineral nickelbischofite. A dihydrate is also known. In general nickel(II) chloride, in various forms, is the most important source of nickel for chemical synthesis. Nickel salts are carcinogenic. They are also deliquescent, absorbing moisture from the air to form a solution
Keywords：Chloride
USES
Used in the manufacture of a variety of nickel compound,preservatives and catalysts for chemical reactions.Used in electroplating, analytical chemistry for analytical reagent.
