can this lens work as a wide angle lens null

It goes down to 18 so it already is a wide angle, unless you want to go lower to a 'fisheye' type .They run about $200-$300 depending on f stop selected.

Nikon DX cameras have an image sensor that is about 1/3 smaller then 35mm film. This means that you need to mentally multiply the zoom by about a factor of 1.5. So, at an 18mm zoom setting, you'd get about the equivalent of an image from a 27mm lens on a traditional film camera. That's slightly wider then a 50mm "normal-eye" lens. It's wide enough for good travel/landscape imagry but it's not really a super wide lens.

Yes, the focal length of wide angle lenses generally ranges from approximately 14 – 35mm for FX (full frame) format cameras or 10 – 24mm for DX format cameras. At its widest focal length of 18mm, this AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300 f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR Lens has an angle of view of 5°20'.
