Molybdenum has both stable and unstable isotopes. One of the naturally occurring isotopes, 100Mo, is very slightly radioactive and undergoes double beta decay with an extremely long half-life (around 7 800 000 000 000 000 000 years, which is about half a billion times the current age of the universe). This means that at natural abundance about 37 decay events per gram of molybdenum per year are expected.
