[edit] Information Sources
Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Palladium. Additional text was taken directly from USGS Periodic Table - Magnesium, from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org), Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (via dict.org) and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table were obtained from the sources listed on the subject page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but were reformatted and converted into SI units.
I does not make sense to put one-line definitions of alternative uses of the word after and article of several hundred words. Either put them at the beginning, or make a disambiguation page. 131.183.81.100 20:15 Jan 30, 2003 (UTC)
Automotive catalytic converters should be mentioned ?? -- Joonas
Could someone add a selection about the computer technology Palladium?? (72.240.241.58)
- No, other meanings are listed on the separate palladium (disambiguation) page. Femto 11:34, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
If anyone knows, could you add the approximate global production in tons or troy ounces? This information is known for some of the other metals, but isn't mentioned here. Thanks. KellyCoinGuy 06:43, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
My information shows that about 200 tonnes of all 6 platinum metals were produced in 1970, with some 90 tonnes being platinum itself. Palladium would have been rather less.
[edit] 0 electrons in 5th shell
I modified the page to indicate that the electrons per shell in Pd goes as follows: 2,8,18,0. Previously, the page didn't list 0 in the outer shell. Pd is a period 5 element, and thus I feel it would be best to reflect this in the data box. [1] (mine) and [2] do it this way. Yinon 09:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- Of course, good catch! Melchoir 09:28, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chemically attacked?
What does that mean? It seems a rather obscure colloquialism. Hackwrench 05:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Indeed, it is chemist's jargon. It simply means corrosively dissolved.
[edit] Platinum Group
Would it be acceptable to declare these as being sometimes called the 'Noble Metals'?
It would be, except that silver and gold are also "Noble Metals", but not in the platinium group.
