A white lustrous soft metallic transition element; a.n. 47; r.a.m. 107.87; r.d. 10.5; m.p. 961.93°C; b.p. 2212°C. It occurs as the element and as the minerals argentite (Ag2S) and horn silver (AgCl). It is also present in ores of lead and copper, and is extracted as a by-product of smelting and refining these metals. The element is used in jewellery, tableware, etc., and silver compounds are used in photography. Chemically, silver is less reactive than copper. A dark silver sulphide forms when silver tarnishes in air because of the presence of sulphur compounds. Silver(I) ionic salts exist (e.g. AgNO3, AgCl) and there are a number of silver(II) complexes.
