Silver is a
metallic chemical element with the
chemical symbol Ag (Latin: argentum,
from the Indo-European root *arg- for
"grey" or "shining") and atomic number
47. A soft, white, lustrous transition
metal, it has the highest electrical
conductivity of any element and the
highest thermal conductivity of any
metal. The metal occurs naturally in its
pure, free form (native silver), as an
alloy with gold and other metals, and in
minerals such as argentite and
chlorargyrite. Most silver is produced
as a by-product of copper, gold, lead,
and zinc refining.
Silver has long
been valued as a precious metal, and it
is used to make ornaments, jewelry,
high-value tableware, utensils (hence
the term silverware), and currency
coins. Today, silver metal is also used
in electrical contacts and conductors,
in mirrors and in catalysis of chemical
reactions. Its compounds are used in
photographic film and dilute silver
nitrate solutions and other silver
compounds are used as disinfectants and
microbiocides. While many medical
antimicrobial uses of silver have been
supplanted by antibiotics, further
research into clinical potential
continues.
