Hi!

So, I'm number 42 on the periodic table (I'm always the answer... cool, right?), my relative molecular mass is 95.94 and I sit in the middle of chromium, niobium, technetium and tungsten.

Sometimes I get confused with graphite and lead ore, but I'm really my own element!

I'm not readily occurring, in fact I'm only usually found in the forms of molybdenite, wulfenite and powellite, and I am most abundant in North America, South America and China.

I'm a team player - my jobs include making strong alloys stronger, working as an electrode and as a catalyst. I'm also essential for nitrogen fixation, and an all round great element!

Chuck us a follow, I promise I'll educate you in the coolness of elements!
