2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Palladium alloys are used for Jewelry contains (95% Palladium and 5% Ruthenium)

In the late 1800s, Palladium metal used have more economical value than the Platinum metal.

Palladium element is known as a good catalyst

Niobium metal was used to get called Columbium in past.
Niobium metal found freely in nature (abundance).
