Silver (Ag) Element Properties

Atomic Mass	107.8682
Atomic Number	47
Name Origins	Anglo Saxon, siolfur = "silver": Latin, argentum
Year Discovered	Prehistoric
Discovery Credits	Known to ancient civilizations.
Remarks	Soft, malleable metal with characteristic silver sheen. Stable to water and oxygen but attacked by sulfur compounds in air to form black sulfide layer. Dissolves in sulfuric and nitric acid. Used in photography, silverware, jewelry, electrical industry, and glass (mirrors). Diagnostic tests: Easily reduced on charcoal using a blowpipe or propane torch after roasting the sample forming a malleable silvery bead. Silver, along with lead and mercury form white, insoluble chlorides from aqueous solutions.
