What Are the Chemical Properties of Molybdenum?

Molybdenum is a relatively stable transition metal element with the following chemical properties:

Low reactivity: Molybdenum is stable in most non-oxidizing acids and bases, and only reacts in strong oxidizing acids, such as nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid.

Strong corrosion resistance: Molybdenum can resist most acids, alkalis and salts, so it is widely used in the manufacture of equipment in the chemical, petroleum and food processing industries.

Poor solubility: molybdenum is insoluble in water and most organic solvents at room temperature, and can only be dissolved under high temperature, high pressure, and strong oxidation conditions.

Reacts with oxygen: Molybdenum reacts with oxygen to form molybdenum oxide, but molybdenum oxide decomposes at high temperatures.

Reaction with halogens: Molybdenum reacts with halogens such as chlorine, fluorine and bromine to form corresponding halides.

Reacts with Sulfur: Molybdenum reacts with sulfur to form molybdenum sulfide, a black solid.

In general, molybdenum has very stable chemical properties, strong corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, so it has a wide range of applications in many industrial fields.
