Talk:Group 10 element

Nickel, Platinum and Palladium dissolves Hydrogen in it.[edit]

These elements can dissolve hydrogen in it and they belongs to the same group.And this is a very important property. This is not at all discussed in the section "PROPERTIES". It is amazing that these three elements which predominantly show this property of adsorption of hydrogen on its surface belong to the same group. Hence this should be at least described in the article about the group.This property contributes to its application as a catalyst and in the article the catalytic property is discussed but not the property of dissolving hydrogen in it. Shouldn't it be included? --Valchemishnu 13:50, 23 August 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valchemishnu (talk • contribs) 09:52, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Electron Configuration of Darmstadtium[edit]

The electron configuration of Darmstadtium is listed as "2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 17, 1". But can it be "2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 16, 2", due to relativistic effect?--Anoop.m (talk) 14:14, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The electron configurations of elements past rutherfordium are unknown. This is simply a guess based on platinum. Double sharp (talk) 06:14, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The "16, 2" configuration is predicted by relativistic effects while the "17, 1" configuration is only based on periodic trends (which may break down at high Z). Double sharp (talk) 12:34, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Group 3 element which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 21:15, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Individual elements[edit]

@Siluna and Sliverash:, I see you have added a history n individual elements [1]. In general, I'd expect (longer) histories only as far as it relates to their group aspects. When the individual histories have no pettern re this, they shouold be out I think. A good example is Rare Elements, as their discovery (and set name!) have a chemical pattern. (btw, {{main}}'s are missing). -DePiep (talk) 10:18, 29 October 2022 (UTC) -DePiep (talk) 10:18, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
