Mineral Species sorted by the element Pd Palladium (original) (raw)

Palladium (Pd) Element Properties

Atomic Mass 106.42
Atomic Number 46
Name Origins After the asteroid "Pallas"
Year Discovered 1803
Discovery Credits Discovered by W. H. Wellaston at London, UK.
Remarks Silvery-white metal, lustrous, malleable, ductile. Resists corrosion, dissolves in oxidizing acids and fused alkalis. Readily absorbs hydrogen gas. Main use is as a catalyst.Diagnostic tests: There are no simple chemical tests for palladium. The element is usually found as an alloy or a sulfide mineral with other platinum group metals. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy is used for quantitative analysis and Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays (EDAX) is used for qualitative analysis.
