The authors consider the experimental dependence of 
the integral interatomic binding energy in palladium on the relative 
atomic concentration of hydrogen that is absorbed in the palladium. 
It is shown that the hydrogen in the palladium exists in atomic, molecular, 
and chemically bonded form. Examples of using the results obtained 
in investigation of heterogeneous catalysis on transition d-metals 
are presented.
