2 Facts

2.1 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.

At room temperature mercury is found in a liquid state.

A coin of pound or rupees floats in mercury.

Because of its low melting point and boiling point it is used in thermometers.

3 Uses

3.1 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.

It is a liquid metal at room temperature, but it is a toxic heavy metal and hence many uses of mercury are under review or phased out.
It is manly used as a catalysts in chemical industry.
