HISTORY,
BACKGROUND & USES:
Discovered in ancient times. Silver is a precious metal that has the highest conductivity
of electricity and heat of all metals. It is very rare, for every
10,000,000 parts of iron, there are about 2 parts of silver. The
largest percent of silver is found in lead sulfide (galena). Silver
bearing ores are called argentiferous. The biggest demand for
silver comes from the photographic industry because silver is
used in photographic film. The silvering of mirrors requires the
action of a chemical reducing agent such as invert sugar, Rochelle
salt, or formaldehyde.
