Which outcome results when high concentrations of hydrogen diffuse through palladium?

💡 Explanation

High hydrogen concentration causes hydrogen embrittlement because hydrogen atoms occupy interstitial sites, leading to lattice expansion creating dislocations; therefore the material weakens and becomes brittle, rather than the alternative of conductivity increases under hydrogenation.
