Yes, many chemical compounds of silver are known.
Yes, gold and silver are native elements, which means they can be found in their pure form in nature without being chemically combined with other elements.
No, silver salts refer to a broad category of compounds containing silver combined with other elements, while silver nitrate specifically refers to the salt formed when silver is combined with nitric acid. Silver nitrate is a type of silver salt, but not all silver salts are silver nitrate.
Silver is an element, there are no other elements in it.
The noble gases.
differences in chemical reactivity, the more reactive the more likely to form compounds
Hydrogen can react with practically all other elements.
Gold, silver, and copper are considered native elements because they occur in nature in their pure form. They are not chemically combined with any other elements and can be found in Earth's crust as metallic mineral deposits. This is in contrast to other elements, which are often found in nature in the form of compounds or minerals.
Elements form molecules of chemical compounds
Silicon can be combined with many elements forming chemical compounds as fluorides, chlorides, carbides, nitrides, etc.
Silver can be mixed with various metals such as copper or zinc to create sterling silver, or with other metals like nickel or palladium for white gold. These alloys are used to improve the metal’s durability, strength, and resistance to tarnishing. Additionally, silver can also be combined with gemstones, enamel, or other materials for jewelry-making.
Yes, silver can be used with other elements to create various alloys. Some common examples include sterling silver (with copper), silver-gold alloys, and silver-nickel alloys. These combinations can enhance the properties of silver for specific applications.
Zinc is usually combined with other elements.
