Palladium is a soft steel-white metal that resembles platinum, doesn't tarnish in air, and is the least dense and has the lowest melting point of the platinum group metals.
Palladium is chemically attacked by sulfuric and nitric acid but dissolves slowly in hydrochloric acid.
Palladium is found as a free metal and alloyed with platinum and gold with platinum group metals in placer deposits of the Ural Mountains, Australia, Ethiopia, South and North America.
Palladium is a chemical element, in the periodic table that has the symbol Pd and atomic number 46.
The compound palladium chloride[?] was at one time prescribed as a tuberculosis treatment at the rate of 0.065 g per day (approximately 1 mg per kg of body weight).
Traditionally, a palladium is a statue of PallasAthena, especially, the one that Odysseus took from the citadel of Troy and upon which the city's security was believed to depend.
Palladium is a role-playing game created by Kevin Siembieda and published by Palladium Books in 1983.
The Palladium game system involves roll-under percentile skill checks, roll-high d20 combat skill checks and saving throws, and variable-dice (using differing amounts of d4s, d6s, d8s, and d10s) for damage.
Palladium is used as a catalyst, in alloys of gold (to make white gold) and silver, in electroplating, and in dentistry.
It was discovered in 1803 by English physicist William Wollaston, and named after the asteroid Pallas (found in 1802).

Bad quality (high sulfur) diesel fuel has been used as a palladium extraction agent for the liquid-liquid extraction of this metal from nitric acid mixtures.
This has been proposed as a means of separating the fission product palladium from PUREX raffinate which comes from used nuclear fuel.
So far neither a pilot plant or full scale plant has been constructed to recover palladium, rhodium or ruthenium from nuclear wastes created by the use of nuclear fuel.
Wollaston found element 46 in crude platinum ore from South America.
He did this by dissolving the ore in aqua regia, neutralizing the solution with sodium hydroxide, NaOH, precipitating platinum as ammonium chloroplatinate through treatment with ammonium chloride, NH Cl, and then adding mercuric cyanide to form the compound palladium cyanide.
Pd-107 versus Ag correlations observed in bodies, which have clearly been melted since accretion of the solar system, must reflect the presence of short-lived nuclides in the early solar system.

In this way the particularly strong triple bond in nitrogen is weakened and the hydrogen and nitrogen molecules are brought closer together than would be the case in the gas phase, so the rate of reaction increases.
Other heterogenous catalysts include vanadium V oxide in the Contact process, nickel in the manufacture of margarine, alumina and silica in the cracking of alkanes and platinum rhodium palladium in catalytic converters.
In car engines, incomplete combustion of the fuel produces carbon monoxide, which is toxic.
