Nuclides with atomic number of 46 but with different mass numbers
Natural
palladium
(
46
Pd) is composed of six stable
isotopes
,
102
Pd,
104
Pd,
105
Pd,
106
Pd,
108
Pd, and
110
Pd, although
102
Pd and
110
Pd are theoretically unstable. The most stable
radioisotopes
are
107
Pd
with a
half-life
of 6.5 million years,
103
Pd
with a half-life of 17 days, and
100
Pd with a half-life of 3.63 days. Twenty-three other radioisotopes have been characterized with
atomic weights
ranging from 90.949
u
(
91
Pd) to 128.96 u (
129
Pd). Most of these have half-lives that are less than a half an hour except
101
Pd (half-life: 8.47 hours),
109
Pd (half-life: 13.7 hours), and
112
Pd (half-life: 21 hours).
The primary
decay mode
before the most abundant stable isotope,
106
Pd, is
electron capture
and the primary mode after is
beta decay
. The primary
decay product
before
106
Pd is
rhodium
and the primary product after is
silver
.
Radiogenic
107
Ag is a decay product of
107
Pd and was first discovered in the
Santa Clara
meteorite of 1978.
[4]
The discoverers suggest that the coalescence and differentiation of iron-cored small planets may have occurred 10 million years after a
nucleosynthetic
event.
107
Pd versus Ag correlations observed in bodies, which have clearly been melted since accretion of the
Solar System
, must reflect the presence of short-lived nuclides in the early Solar System.

Palladium-103
[
edit
]
Palladium-103
is a
radioisotope
of the
element
palladium
that has uses in
radiation therapy
for
prostate cancer
and
uveal melanoma
. Palladium-103 may be created from
palladium-102
or from
rhodium-103
using a
cyclotron
. Palladium-103 has a
half-life
of 16.99
[9]
days and decays by
electron capture
to
rhodium-103
, emitting characteristic
x-rays
with 21
keV
of
energy
.
Palladium-107
[
edit
]
Palladium-107
is the second-longest lived (
half-life
of 6.5 million years
[9]
) and least radioactive (
decay energy
only 33
keV
,
specific activity
5
×
10
?5
Ci/g) of the 7 long-lived
fission products
. It undergoes pure
beta decay
(without
gamma radiation
) to
107
Ag
, which is stable.
Its yield from
thermal neutron
fission of
uranium-235
is 0.1629% per fission
[
citation needed
]
, only 1/4 that of
iodine-129
, and only 1/40 those of
99
Tc
,
93
Zr
, and
135
Cs
. Yield from
233
U
is slightly lower, but yield from
239
Pu
is much higher, 3.3%.
Fast fission
or fission of some heavier
actinides
[which?]
will produce palladium-107 at higher yields.
One source
[10]
estimates that palladium produced from fission contains the isotopes
104
Pd (16.9%),
105
Pd (29.3%),
106
Pd (21.3%),
107
Pd (17%),
108
Pd (11.7%) and
110
Pd (3.8%). According to another source, the proportion of
107
Pd is 9.2% for palladium from thermal neutron fission of
235
U
, 11.8% for
233
U, and 20.4% for
239
Pu (and the
239
Pu yield of palladium is about 10 times that of
235
U).
Because of this dilution and because
105
Pd has 11 times the
neutron absorption
cross section
,
107
Pd is not amenable to disposal by
nuclear transmutation
. However, as a
noble metal
, palladium is not as mobile in the environment as iodine or technetium.
