Symbol: Pd
Atomic number: 46
Atomic weight: 106.Standard state: solid at 298 K
Colour: silvery white metallic
Classification: Metallic
Availability: palladium is available in many forms including wire, foil, "evaporation slugs", granule, powder, rod, shot, sheet, and sponge.Small and large samples of palladium foil, sheet, and wire can be purchased from Advent Research Materials via their web catalogue.Ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum together make up a group of elements referred to as the platinum group metals (PGM).When annealed, it is soft and ductile.Hydrogen readily diffuses through heated palladium and this provides a means of purifying the gas.Isolation
Here is a brief summary of the isolation of palladium.It would not normally be necessary to make a sample of palladium in the laboratory as the metal is available commercially.The industrial extraction of palladium is complex as the metal occurs in ores mixed with other metals such as platinum.Sometimes extraction of the precious metals such as platinum and palladium is the main focus of a partiular industrial operation while in other cases it is a byproduct.The extraction is complex and only worthwhile since palladium is the basis of important catalysts in industry.Preliminary treatment of the ore or base metal byproduct with aqua regia (a mixture of hydrochloric acid, HCl, and nitric acid, HNO3) gives a solution containing complexes of gold and platinum as well as H2PdCl4.The platinum is precipitated out as (NH4)2PtCl6 on treatment with NH4Cl, leaving H2PdCl4 in solution.The palladium is precipitated out by treatment with ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH, and HCl as the complex PdCl2(NH3)2.This yields palladium metal by burning.Uses

Save to del.Palladium was named after the asteroid Pallas, which was discovered at about the same
time.Pallas was the Greek goddess of wisdom.Palladium is attacked
by nitric and sulfuric acid.Hydrogen readily diffuses through heated
palladium, providing a means of purifying the gas.Finely divided palladium is a good catalyst and is used for hydrogenation and
dehydrogenation reactions.It is alloyed and used in jewelry trades.White gold is an alloy of gold decolorized by the addition of palladium.The metal is used in dentistry,
watch making, and in making surgical instruments and electrical contacts.Sources: CRC Handbook of Chemistry
