Chem project, just need some starting advice

[Hessam]

Hello... i am concurantly working on a chemistry project called my "favorite" element... i wanted to do helium because of its akward behavior at near absolute zero but since it doesn't react w/ anything i couldn't use it for my stoichiometry problems ... well anyways my element that i picked out of randomness, was Molybdenum... now can anyone pleae give me some tips as to where and how i could find some interesting information? and does anyone know anything interesting about this element allready that would not be "common textbook knowledge" (like element number, mass... simple stuff like that i don't need)... any help will not be overlooked, thankyou.

oh yes, and to help anyone out who might actually help... its element number 42

Not directly the same question, but it is similar enought that I didn't want to start a new thread.

I was just looking at some of the properties of Bromine and under Chemical Properties it had a heading of Incompatibilies. In this category it listed several metals and inorganics, but it also listed hydrogen. If HBr exsists, then how is that possible?

"Incompatibility" means do not mix without the expectation of great excitement when used in MSDS/NFPR contexts. You are looking at rapid and energetic reaction possibilities. HBr is formed as a result of such a reaction, but the the elements themselves are incompatible in the sense that reaction is inevitable.

Thanks. I was thinking it most likely would have been something more along those lines.
