MOLYBDENUM TRIOXIDE AR
Molybdenum occurs naturally in various ores, the most important being molybdenite (MoS2),
which is converted to molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) for use
in ferro- and manganese alloys, chemicals, catalysts, ceramics, and pigments.
Molybdenum Trioxide is a white, odorless powder which turns yellow when heated. It is used in agriculture, making other Molybdenum compounds, ceramic glazes, enamels, pigments, and analytical chemistry.
Further, Mo–O connection appeared to exhibit both ionic (the charge transfer from 2p orbital of oxygen to molybdenum) and the covalent (charge accumulation in the region of Mo–O) components
