The relative chemical potential of the dissolved hydrogen (Delta mu(H)
(O)) and the partial pair interaction free energies, g(P)(H)<---->(Z),
and (g(H)(P)<---->(Z/Z'))(average) respectively, in Pd based Pd(1-x)Z
(x)-H and Pd(1-x-y)Z(x)Z(y)'-H systems are correlated to the stability
of the dissolved hydrogen in the octahedral interstitial sites by cla
ssifying the Pd(1-x)Z(x) alloys based on the ''effective valence, n(s)
'' of the substitutional metals. From the dependence of Delta mu(H)(O)
on the lattice constant of the alloy, (a(0))(alloys) and of g(H)(P)<-
--->((g(H)(P)<---->(Z/Z'))(average)) on the ionic diameter of the subs
tituent metal, d(Z), ((d(Z/Z'))(average)) for systems Pd(1-x)Z(x)-H (P
d(1-x-y)Z(x)Z(y)'-H), the exceptional behavior of the binary ''expande
