Is molybdenum radioactive?
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.
Is Molybdenum magnetic or non-magnetic?
molybdenum is paramagnetic
Which of these elements is a metal?
Molybdenum or "Mo" =D
What is molybdenum's family name?
there is no family name for molybdenum!

What type of rock is molybdenum?
Molybdenum is not a rock, but rather a mineral. It is a chemical element, as well. It has the 6th highest melting point of all the elements, and is used in high strength steel. Molybdenum is also a vital mineral in higher animals.

What is the origin name of molybdenum?
molybdenum
What is the nuclear decay for francium?
Francium-223 decay to radium-223; each isotope have another type of decay.
What Type of Decay occurs when Thorium -229 decay to form radium -225?
