Molybdenum was discovered by
P.J. Hjelm in 1781 in Uppsala, Sweden. The main
source of this element is the ore molybdenite. Mo is
a valuable alloying agent, as it contributes to the
hardness of toughness of steel and is a catalyst in the
refining of petroleum. Although toxic in anything
other than small quantities, Mo is an essential element
for animals and plants. If soil lacks Mo the land is
barren. Leguminous plants use the nitrogen-fixing
enzyme nitrogenase, which contains molybdenum.
The Mo-99 isotope is not
naturally occurring in nature. But is an essential
element in nuclear medicine. | |
