My element is palladium.Palladuim is a steel white metal, is the least dense and lowest melting,does not tarnish in air.when annealed,it is soft and ductile.cold working increase its stregnth and hardness.it is used in some watch spring.At room temperatures the metal has the unusual property of absorbing up to 900 times its own volume of hydrogen.Hydrogen readily diffuses through heated palladium and this provides a means of purifying the gas.
