Abstract

A metal oxide catalyst, which has a bulk composition represented by formula (1) below and which is used to produce a conjugated diolefin by an oxidative dehydrogenation reaction between a monoolefin, having 4 or more carbon atoms, and molecular oxygen, wherein standard deviation obtained by dividing a ratio of Bi molar concentration relative to Mo molar concentration at the surface of a catalyst particle by a ratio of the Bi molar concentration relative to the Mo molar concentration in a catalyst bulk is 0.3 or less.
