Molybdenum's atomic number is 42 and its symbol is Mo. Molybdenum’s name comes from the ancient Greek word for “lead” because for a long time because molybdenum ore was confused with lead ore. About 80% of the world's production of molybdenum is used to create high strength or super alloys of steel.

What sets this element apart is how little it expands at high temperatures. This ability makes it valuable in extreme heat applications such as military armor, aircraft parts, electrical contacts, or support filaments in light bulbs.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.
