Molybdenum Summary (3534 words)
Molybdenum is a transition metal, one of the elements that occur in Rows 4, 5, and 6 between Groups 2 and 13 in the periodic table.
Molybdenum ranges are pigments ranging from red-yellow to a bright red orange and used in paints, inks, plastics, and rubber compounds.
In animals molybdenum is a cofactor of the enzyme xanthine oxidase which is involved in the pathways of purine degradation and formation of uric acid.

Molybdenum sulphide is not very soluble in water while it easily dissolves in acqua regia (mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid) and hot water in some inorganic acids like nitric, sulphuric and hydrochloric acid.
Molybdenum trioxide is frequently found in nature but always in the form of molybdite.
Molybdenum trioxide can be used in various applications: in the petroleum industry for the removal of sulphur and nitrogenous products; in the chemical industry for a number of oxidation processes, in the enamel industry.
