Does it contain H+ ions? No, so it is not an acid.

Does it contain OH- ions? No, so it is not a base/alkali.

Silver nitrate is a salt formed by reacting silver with nitric acid.

AgNO3 is actually a salt. However, upon breaking up and gaining H and OH groups, it will form AgOH and HNO3, a weak base and strong acid. This means that AgNO3 is an acidic salt.
