'''Molybdenum''' is a [[transition metal]] that is a chemical element with the atomic number of 42. It is an essential trace element for most life forms, and is important to the function of [[enzymes]] in humans.<ref>http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/minerals/molybdenum/</ref> It is used also as an alloying metal (that is, combined with other metals), and is thus important in industrial technology.<ref>http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/molybdenum/</ref> | '''Molybdenum''' is a [[transition metal]] that is a chemical element with the atomic number of 42.
