The atomic number of molybdenum (Mo) is 42.
See the Web Links to the left of this answer for a periodic table with more information about this element!
Molybdenum's atomic number is 42 and its atomic weight is 95.94
In the nucleus of molybdenum, a neutron undergoes beta decay, transforming into a proton and emitting an electron and an antineutrino. This process converts the element into technetium by increasing the atomic number by one and maintaining the same mass number.
Molybdenum 98, a stable isotope, has 56 neutrons.
The atomic mass of molybdenum (Mo) is approximately 95.94 amu (atomic mass units).
The period number of molybdenum is 5. Period numbers in the periodic table indicate the energy levels or shells in which the elements' electrons are located. Molybdenum has 5 electron shells.
Molybdenum's atomic number is 42 and its atomic weight is 95.94
95.94 according to my chemistry textbook...
42 electrons implies atomic number of 42, which implies that it's molybdenum. With 42 electrons implies 42 protons implies an atomic mass of 42+53=95 which is 95Mo, one of the stable isotopes of this element. Please see the link.

Molybdenum
In the nucleus of molybdenum, a neutron undergoes beta decay, transforming into a proton and emitting an electron and an antineutrino. This process converts the element into technetium by increasing the atomic number by one and maintaining the same mass number.
Molybdenum 98, a stable isotope, has 56 neutrons.
Most molybdenum atoms have 54 neutrons. The atomic number (number of protons) of molybdenum is 42, and its weight (number of protons and neutrons) is around 96. 96 - 42 = 54.
MoS2. -2 for each S, +4 for Mo
An element's atomic number gives its number of protons. Checking the periodic table, we see that molybdenum is the element with the atomic number of 42. Thus molybdenum has 42 protons in its nucleus.
The atomic mass of molybdenum (Mo) is approximately 95.94 amu (atomic mass units).
The period number of molybdenum is 5. Period numbers in the periodic table indicate the energy levels or shells in which the elements' electrons are located. Molybdenum has 5 electron shells.
