Equation1:X(s)+NiCl2(aq)→Ni(s)+XCl2(aq)Equation2:X(s)+MgCl2(aq)→noreaction

A sample of an unknown solid metal, X(s), is added to a solution of NiCl2(aq), which results in the formation of Ni(s) and XCl2(aq). When a sample of X(s) is added to a solution of MgCl2(aq), no changes are observed. The results of the experiment are summarized in equations 1 and 2.

Which of the following represents a possible identity of metal X and provides the correct justification?
