Molybdic acid can also be called molybdenum hydroxide oxide or molybdic(VI) acid, or dihydrogentetraoxomolybdate. It is mostly found in two forms monohydrate and dihydrates based on the number of water molecules present in this chemical. The chemical formula of the monohydrate is MoO3·H2O and dihydrate is MoO3·2H2O. This substance id is diamagnetic in nature. It appears as a yellow-coloured solid.
