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)
