  2. Silver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver

    Silver bullion bar, 1000 ounces Silver is extremely ductile, and can be drawn into a wire one atom wide. [15] Silver is similar in its physical and chemical properties to its two vertical neighbours in group 11 of the periodic table: copper, and gold.

  3. Silver compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_compounds

    Some silver oxide powder.. Silver is a relatively unreactive metal, although it can form several compounds. The common oxidation states of silver are (in order of commonness): +1 (the most stable state; for example, silver nitrate, AgNO 3); +2 (highly oxidising; for example, silver(II) fluoride, AgF 2); and even very rarely +3 (extreme oxidising; for example, potassium tetrafluoroargentate(III ...

  4. Group 11 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_11_element

    Group 11, by modern IUPAC numbering, [1] is a group of chemical elements in the periodic table, consisting of copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), and roentgenium (Rg), although no chemical experiments have yet been carried out to confirm that roentgenium behaves like the heavier homologue to gold.

  5. Sterling silver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_silver

    The black silver sulfide (Ag 2 S) is among the most insoluble salts in aqueous solution, a property that is exploited for separating silver ions from other positive ions. Sodium chloride (NaCl) or common table salt is known to corrode silver-copper alloy, typically seen in silver salt shakers where corrosion appears around the holes in the top.

  6. Noble metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_metal

    The elements to the left of gold and silver have incompletely filled d-bands, which is believed to play a role in their catalytic properties. A common explanation is the d-band filling model of Hammer and Jens Nørskov , [ 18 ] [ 19 ] where the total d-bands are considered, not just the unoccupied states.

  7. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties.All elemental metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metallic elements; and have at least one basic oxide.

  8. Alkaline earth metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_earth_metal

    The alkaline earth metals are six chemical elements in group 2 of the periodic table. They are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). [1] The elements have very similar properties: they are all shiny, silvery-white, somewhat reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure. [2]
