Molybdenum Electrons per Shell (Mo) [& Color, Discovery ... 2022

Atoms have electrons that need to be distributed somehow, even Molybdenum. Ok so where are these electrons in an atom of Mo?

In the case of Molybdenum the number of electons per shell is 2,8,18,13,1. Besides the distribution of electrons there is a lot of funny facts about Molybdenum that most don't know. Let me show you...
