Description:Palladium is a rare, silvery-white metal belonging to the platinum group of elements, characterized by its high melting point, excellent corrosion resistance, and catalytic properties. It has the atomic number 46 and is denoted by the symbol "Pd." Palladium is known for its ability to absorb hydrogen, making it valuable in various applications, including hydrogen storage and purification. It is widely used as a catalyst in chemical reactions, particularly in automotive catalytic converters to reduce harmful emissions. Additionally, palladium is utilized in electronics, dentistry, and jewelry due to its aesthetic appeal and hypoallergenic properties. The metal is relatively inert, exhibiting stability in air and water, but can react with halogens and certain acids. Palladium's isotopes are primarily stable, with the most common being Pd-102. Its unique properties make it an essential material in modern technology and industrial processes.
