Silver is a lustrous, soft and white metal, which has very good electrical and thermal conductivity.  Evidence suggests that people have been using silver for thousands years. Most silvers are obtained from argentite and horn silver.

Silver has been used in making coins, jewelry and also used for electrical contact because of its great electrical conductivity ability.

Silver compounds are very important for both research and industry. There are many kinds of silver compounds, such as Silver Nitride (AgNO₃), Silver Chloride (AgCl), Silver fulminate(AgONC), etc. Silver Nitride (AgNO₃)  is mainly used as the starting for synthesis other silverproducts and painting area. Silver Chloride (AgCl) is used for potentionmetric and PH testing equipments.
