Interesting Facts
- Molybdenum is highly reactive metal, hence not found free in nature .
- Till 18th century Molybdenum element were often mistaken as a carbon or Lead.
Darmstadtium is a synthetic element that is highly radioactive.

Uses & Benefits
- Its alloys are used to make engine parts, drills, saw blade, etc.
- Lubricant additive made up of Molybdenum disulfide is commonly used in the industry. It is also used as a catalyst.
- Currently known uses of Darmstadtium metal are limited to research purpose only. As only few atoms of this metal are produced.
