Pd2H Palladium Pal*la"di*um, n. [NL.] (Chem.)

unique in its power of occluding hydrogen, which it does to
the extent of nearly a thousand volumes, forming the alloy
Pd2H. It is used for graduated circles and verniers, for
plating certain silver goods, and somewhat in dentistry. It
was so named in 1804 by Wollaston from the asteroid Pallas,
which was discovered in 1802. Symbol Pd. Atomic weight,
