configuration matter

I have a doubt most of other wiki pages (Malayalam, French) says electronic configuration is 2,8,18,18,0. I think it's good suggestion. because most of other element's (117) configuration end in 8 or less than 8. അമൽ ബെന്നി (talk) 06:32, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

It's exactly the same. The 0 can be present as an emphasis because the unoccupied 5s and 5p orbitals of Pd can be used in a chemical environment, but precisely because it's zero, it doesn't change the meaning. Double sharp (talk) 21:32, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Change in class

I have reviewed this article, not good enough to be GA but it looks like it is good enough to be B, according to WP:ASSESS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keresluna (talk • contribs) 16:25, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Palladium Toxicity / Absorption by the human body

Hello, I hope I am doing this in the right format. I am a PhD chemist who works as an organic chemist but this is my first time contributing to a discussion page on wikipedia.

The article says "Until that recent work, it had been thought that palladium was poorly absorbed by the human body when ingested". There is no citation given for this as far as I can tell. As an organic chemist I know just how much palladium is used in drug synthesis, if it is true that "recent work" has proved that palladium is indeed well absorbed by humans then that would have absolutely enormous implications, it would surely require a number of studies in to what the effects of this absorption are. Perhaps some studies have already been published, if so a summary of their conclusions should surely be cited.

Apologies again of if this is not the correct forum for placing these concerns, but my professional background made me feel compelled to address this issue. MorthosTheRed (talk) 20:52, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

good for you for following your instinctual feelings and posting your comment!! Thank you!! You shouldn't apologize for being compelled to speak up!! No one has the right to lay any conviction on how anyone feels. It's just nice to see someone stand up and speak freely Instead of not posting due to what others may think or feel or say. I am no better than the next person & the next person is no better than I. People tend to be so caught up in what others are going to do/say because you spoke truth. As long as you're feeling good about writing this, don't worry about what anyone else thinks. If they don't like it they're free to stop reading it and move on.. now, wouldn't THAT be the best!? Sorry for going off topic, just had to say - you keep doing what ya doing and speak up and be proud!!

I'm very taken by chemistry. Minerals, gems, soil, wish they offered that at school back in my day. I'm just hearing about palladium and saw this. So thank you for sharing as I'm trying to educate myself. Thank you.

Keep on doing what you're doing and don't worry about what anyone thinks, as long as no one is getting hurt and it makes you feel good, isn't that what matters. s.

😊😊✌️. There needs to be more people to do what they feel they should without worrying someone might not care for it.

You should be you and true to you because you gotta live with you until ya leave this world.

Ps. You have an incredible job as a chemist, if that were me, I'd be trying to figure out what EVERYTHING is compounded and made. Seriously. Anyway, enjoy ya job knowing at least someone is envious of the job you have 😁 peace and happy labbing!

and to those of you reading this if ya don't get it or don't like it, that's ok too, everyone has the right to their feelings, there is no right or wrong. See ya! 🤝Jewls💯real👍K 24.233.106.55 (talk) 04:11, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Palladium

The group is 10 and it was found at or in the crude platinum ore at South America Neverland12340 (talk)(UTC)
