Electrons have a specific form of distribution (or configuration) in every atom, even Molybdenum. Some are hard to memorise (or predict), so what is the electron configuration of an atom of Mo?
In the case of Molybdenum the abbreviated electron configuration is [Kr] 4d5 5s1. Nevertheless, check the complete configuration and other interesting facts about Molybdenum that most people don't know.
Learn more about the atomic number.
Learn more about the atomic mass.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. "Electron Configuration of Molybdenum (Mo) [Complete, Abbreviated, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
