Palladium is a rare silvery whit lustrous metal. It is a member of the Platinum Group of elements and shares characteristics with other members of that group. Because palladium is a siderophile (iron loving) element most of it was incorporated in Earth's nickel iron core shortly after the planets formation. Because the surface rocks are depleted in platinum group elements the worlds important commercial sources of them are thought to be derived from either mantle sources or from meteorites. The most important commercial sources are nickel-copper deposits found in the Sudbury Basin,Ontario, the Norilsk-Talnakh deposits in Siberia, and the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa.
Word Origin: Palladium was named for the asteroid Pallas, which was discovered approximately the same time (1803). Pallas was the Greek goddess of wisdom.
The name 'Palladium' comes from the ancient city of Troy, where a statue of the goddess Pallas Athena, called the Palladium, was believed to protect the city. Palladium is also a rare silver-white metal named after the goddess Athena's epithet, Pallas.
Palladium is marked 950PD.
Palladium is a metal.
Palladium is a paramagnetic metal.
Palladium chloride can be made by dissolving palladium metal in aqua regia (a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid) to form palladium(II) chloride. The reaction involves the oxidation of palladium metal to palladium(II) ions by nitric acid.
Palladium(II) has a charge of +2
Palladium is a metal; it is a transition metal.
Palladium hydroxide is typically stronger in terms of catalytic activity compared to palladium on carbon due to the higher oxidation state of palladium in the hydroxide form. Palladium hydroxide is often used in hydrogenation reactions due to its higher reactivity. Palladium on carbon is more commonly used for certain types of hydrogenation reactions where milder conditions are needed.
