Molybdenum - Periodic Table of Videos

[thexsoar]

Wasn't Crow T. Robot constructed from molybdenum?

[AZURA888]

The UK challenger tank uses mollibdenum as main component in body bulletproof shield.

[livedandletdie]

The answer to the life, the universe and everything is 42. 1/3 confirmed.

[MrCoonskin]

Molybdenum is quite an interesting element. The main thing I know it from is Moly Grease used in the building and re-building of automotive engines. Grease made with moly is quite resistant to temperature and sticks quite well, making it a perfect grease to lubricate internal engine parts during a first run before motor oil can be brought up to the parts.

[thumbsucker29]

Pure (99%+) molybdenum is readily available in sheet form. It has many industrial uses, chiefly because of its ability to maintain structural integrity at high temp. Many industrial heat treating vacuum furnaces use moly as a cladding on the internal heat chamber, as temps in these furnaces can be over 2200 F. Molybdenum's high melting point allows it to maintain its shape without deformation, although it does become significantly embrittled after repeated heating and cooling cycles.

Molybdenum the new gold....Carlo Biancardi, google me

[ketanovas]

00:33 Thumbs up if the hand looks like artificial :D

[FieryRedDonkeyOfHell]

@ketanovas i'd thumbs up you, if you weren't such a bitchface.

just kidding

[4DCrunch]

Funny how Molybdemun is essential for life and has an Atomic Number of 42

[rolficus]

molybdenum has almost the same weight as silver 

[omerta410]

we need a little bit more about molybdenum...

[MrTownKiller]

Einstein wannabe

[UKnowMe327]

@MrTownKiller @MrTownKiller Einstein was a mathematician and a physicist. Not a chemist. This professor is a chemist. Just because they both have long hair doesn't mean that he tries to "copy" einstein. Get your facts straight before you start assuming.

[EMPPT]

Hehe, even here we can associate 42 with life :)

[jeebersjumpincryst]

Molybdenum is used to produce (lower energy/soft) xrays in most mammography xray tubes. Tungsten is used in most general xray tubes and CT tubes.Nice vid but wish there was more.Interesting applications by looks of ppl's comments here.thanks

[RhymixRoid]

Molybdenum is also a great element to counterfeit silver bars and coins because they weigh almost the same as Silver at a fraction of the price much like Tungsten is a great counterfeit for Gold.

[kja5]

@RhymixRoid Is it the same color?

[TheCaptainLulz]

does anyone know how to reduce MoS to a water soluable form? I mined a little molybdenite and want to use it as a supliment for my father who has signs of a deficiency.

[AaronTAB]

This is an awful idea. Just buy some supplements.

[TheCaptainLulz]

@AaronTAB they dont sell just moly and it usually comes with copper, which he has more than enough of.

[tjk622]

I have to write an entire 6-8 page report about molybdenum and that helped me a lot but it would be great with more detail about the element.

[kerrybadger]

ace, i love molybdenum too! lets start a club with Mo badges

[JBIS101MA]

i have to write about molybdenum niobium and technetium for my science lesson

[TheSprinklerSystem]

Molybdenum is like my favourite element!!

it was a bit brief, Mo deatil please!

see what i did there?!

yay go me! :P

MOLYBDENUM FTW!

[SilverLegionare]

wow awesome

YOU GUYS SHOULD MAKE A PLAYLIST OF ELEMENTS ESSENTIAL TO LIFE!!

[saintaureus]

Needs more detail, but I didn't realize it was so important in biology.

And its atomic number 42 is a great number, but the joke about the meaning of life is from Douglas Adams' Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

[rtsjoe]

The meaning of life... Is this where the joke comes from?

[windowlicker1]

i love molybdenum

[HamburgerExplosion]

I was wondering how to pronounce it!

[pooppeeyoupants]

@HamburgerExplosion mol-le-bp-den-um

[CharlieBBoy12345]

v interesting though, from p.o.v. of evolution etc...

[Samqdf]

I thought this was a bit breif and missed the whole industrial side of this elements use (alloys of steel). When you do a second run of your videos could this be included?

[disorganizedorg]

@Samqdf Also its use in nuclear medicine as a source of Tc-99m...

[Samqdf]

@disorganizedorg I didn't know that, cancer treatment?
