Molybdenum is one of the most heavy elements of those essential to life. Most remarkable is the enzyme nitrogenase with molybdenum in its active center, which allows some bacteria to process nitrogen from the air. In elemental form, the hard, heavy and ductile metal is used for many special technical applications, like for the tempering of steel.
