∙ 15y agoMolybdenum was discovered by Karl Scheele in 1781. It occurs naturally in "Molybdenite" which is a soft grey mineral consisting of Molybdenum Sulphide with Rhenium as an impurity. (Two for the price of one - what a bargain.) Rhenium was not discovered until 1925.

How is the element molybdenum obtained?
Although molybdenum is fairly abundant and is found in a number of minerals, its commercial production is primarily from mineral molybdenite, MoS2.The process involvesRoasting the ore - to give molybdenum oxide.This is extracted from the ore using aqueous ammonia, whence it forms ammonium molybdate.Ammonium molybdate is then converted to ammonium dimolybdate which can be isolated as a solid.Heating this gives molybdenum trioxide, MoO3.Finally, the metal is produced by reduction using hydrogen.
What chemical symbol is the symbol for molybdenum?
The molybdenum chemical symbol is Mo.
What type of element is molybdenum?
Molybdenum is a metal.
What is the molybdenum family?
