Source sentences:
text: Compounds of molybdenum which are commonly encountered have molybdenum in its highest oxidation state, VI, for example molybdenum trioxide, MoO 3 , sodium molybdate, Na 2 MoO 4 .2H 2 O, and ammonium di- and heptamolybdate, (NH 4 ) 2 Mo 2
text: The lower oxidation state, IV, is found in the commonest ore of molybdenum the disulfide, MoS 2 .
text: The redox chemistry of molybdenum-oxygen compounds, as in selective oxidation catalysts and molybdenum oxidase enzymes, has molybdenum cycling between oxidation states (VI) and (IV).
