molybdenumn.

Brit.

/məˈlɪbdənəm/, U.S.

/məˈlɪbdənəm/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin molybdenum.

Etymology: < scientific Latin molybdenum ( S. Rinman Försök till Järnets Historia (1782) 636), alteration of molybdena molybdena n. after the names of other chemical elements (compare -ium suffix). Compare French molybdène (1782 in this sense: see molybdena n.).Molybdenum was recognized as a constituent of molybdenite by the Swedish chemist C. W. Scheele (1742–86) in 1778 and first isolated by the Swedish chemist P. J. Hjelm (1746–1813) in 1782. N.E.D. (1907) gives the pronunciation as (mǫlibdī·nɒ̆m) /mɒlɪbˈdiːnəm/.

Chemistry.

A brittle, silvery-grey chemical element, atomic no. 42, which is one of the transition metals and occurs as an essential trace element in plants and is added to steel and other alloys to give strength and corrosion resistance. Symbol Mo.

Compounds

molybdenum blue n. a complex oxide or mixture of oxides of pentavalent or hexavalent molybdenum with a strong blue colour that is produced, usually as a colloidal solution, when an acidic solution of a molybdate is reduced, and is used in chemical analysis and occasionally as a dye; (also) the colour of this substance.
