Sejarah
Molybdenite was often confused for graphite and it was thought to contain lead.

In 1778 Swedish scientist Carl Wilhelm Scheele proved that molybdenite was not graphite nor did it contain lead.

In 1781, Scheele's friend and countryman, Peter J. Hjelm isolated the metal by using carbon and linseed oil.

Aplikasi
Molybdenum is used as glass furnace electrodes due to its high melting point.

The metal is also used in nuclear energy applications and for missile and aircraft parts.

Molybdenum is valuable as a catalyst in the refining of petroleum.

Molybdenum is used in small quantities to harden steel and is used in many alloys.
Molybdenum is toxic in all but small quantities
