Molybdenum is a chemical element; it has symbol Mo and atomic number 42. The name is derived from Ancient Greek μόλυβδος mólybdos, meaning lead, since its ores were sometimes confused with those of le

…undergoes double beta decay into ruthenium-100 with half-life 7.07×1018 years. All the synthetic isotopes of molybdenum decay into isotopes of niobium, technetium, or zirconium. The most stable of them is 93Mo, with a half-life of 4,839 years to electron capture, giving stable niobium. The most common isotopic…

Periodisches System der Elemente (Periodic system of the elements) (1904–1945, now at the Gdańsk University of Technology): lack of elements: polonium 84Po (though discovered as early as in 1898 by Maria Sklodowska-Curie), astatine 85At (1940, in Berkeley), francium 87Fr (1939, in France), neptunium 93Np (1940, in Berkeley) and other actinides and lanthanides. Uses old symbols for: argon 18Ar (here: A), technetium 43Tc (Ma, masurium), xenon 54Xe (X),
Chloro-containing coordination complexes of technetium (99Tc) in various oxidation states: Tc(III), Tc(IV), Tc(V), and Tc(VI) represented.
