• The symbol for my element is Ag. • The element's chemical symbol is taken from the Latin name for the metal • Silver may occur in the native state. • It is important for uses with electrical devices on spacecrafts, satellites and aircrafts must be able to reliably and efficiently in situations where they cannot be easily repaired. • The primary use for silver is in the manufacture of photographic film. Silver is often used, of course, in coins, art objects,
and jewelry, usually in the form of an alloy. • The two isotopes of Silver Ag-107 and Ag-109 are used and have been proposed as precursor for the production of a number of radioisotopes. Ag-107 has been proposed for the (cyclotron) production of Pd-103 and Ag-109 is used for the production of Ag-110m which is used as a gamma reference source.
Structure/Periodic Table Information
• Silvers atomic mass is 47.
• Silvers average atomic mass is 107.8682 amu.
• It is found in period 5 on the periodic table. • The name of the group where silver is located is Coinage Metal, the group number is 11.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties • Silver is a white with a shinny surface, its density is 6.06 ounces per cubic inch, silver is solid at room temperature, Its melting point is at about 1,762ºF and the boiling point is from 3,600 to 4,000ºF. • Silver is the most ductile and malleable of all metals, it also has high electrical and thermal conductivity and reflects light very well. Chemical Properties
• Silver does not react with most acids at room temperature, and will combined with other elements.
• Silver reacts with Sulfur to form Silver Sulfide (Ag2S) and in result forms a black coating on the metal of silver.
• Elements that are chemically similar to silver are: copper, gold, and roentgenium.
