molybdenum
Atomic number forty-two
Molybdenum is a metallic element used primarily in steel alloys to increase strength and heat resistance.
The silvery-gray metal has one of the highest melting points of any element, making it valuable in high-temperature applications like jet engines and electrical contacts.
Symbol: Mo.
