Molybdenum is categorized as a transition metal on the Periodic Table. It is metallic grey in appearance with a melting point of 2,617°C, a density of 10.2 g/cc, and a vapor pressure of 10-4 Torr at 2,117°C. Due to its strength and high melting point, molybdenum is primarily alloyed with other metals to make corrosion resistant materials and can be found in tools, aircraft parts, and electrical contacts. Molybdenum is evaporated under vacuum to make advanced displays, semiconductors, and sensors.
