  2. Molybdenum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molybdenum

    Molybdenum is an essential element in most organisms; a 2008 research paper speculated that a scarcity of molybdenum in the Earth's early oceans may have strongly influenced the evolution of eukaryotic life (which includes all plants and animals). [85] At least 50 molybdenum-containing enzymes have been identified, mostly in bacteria.

  3. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    Some nonmetals (black P, S, and Se) are brittle solids at room temperature (although each of these also have malleable, pliable or ductile allotropes). From left to right in the periodic table, the nonmetals can be divided into the reactive nonmetals and the noble gases. The reactive nonmetals near the metalloids show some incipient metallic ...

  4. Group 6 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_6_element

    Group 6, numbered by IUPAC style, is a group of elements in the periodic table.Its members are chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and seaborgium (Sg). These are all transition metals and chromium, molybdenum and tungsten are refractory metals.

  6. Refractory metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    The definition of which elements belong to this group differs. The most common definition includes five elements: two of the fifth period (niobium and molybdenum) and three of the sixth period (tantalum, tungsten, and rhenium). They all share some properties, including a melting point above 2000 °C and high hardness at room temperature. They ...

    2, and is remarkable in having direct chemical bonds between two notoriously unreactive atoms, xenon and gold, with xenon acting as a transition metal ligand. The compound Xe 2 Sb 2 F 11 contains a Xe–Xe bond, the longest element-element bond known (308.71 pm = 3.0871 Å). The most common oxide of xenon (XeO 3) is strongly acidic.

  8. Molecular solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_solid

    Molecular solids can be either ductile or brittle, or a combination depending on the crystal face stressed. [5] [11] Both ductile and brittle solids undergo elastic deformation till they reach the yield stress. [8] [11] Once the yield stress is reached, ductile solids undergo a period of plastic deformation and eventually fracture. Brittle ...

  9. High-strength low-alloy steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-strength_low-alloy_steel

    Control-rolled HSLA steels usually have higher strength and toughness, as well as lower ductile-brittle transition temperature [14] and ductile fracture properties. [13] Below are some common micro-alloyed elements used to improve the mechanical properties. Effect of micro-alloyed elements
