Silver is an element found naturally on the earth (Au on the Periodic Table), so silver is "created" by mining and refining it until it's shiny and solid. Au for gold, Ag for silver.
Silver tarnishes in the atmosphere, a black deposit of silver sulfide, Ag2S forms on the surface.
When silver reacts with oxygen, it forms silver oxide. This can create a tarnish layer on the surface of the silver, giving it a dull appearance. Silver oxide can be removed by polishing the silver surface.
The word equation for the formation of silver sulfide when silver reacts with sulfur is: Silver + Sulfur -> Silver Sulfide.
Silver Chloride
A white precipitate forms when silver nitrate and potassium carbonate react, due to the formation of insoluble silver carbonate.
The molecular formula for Silver sulfide is Ag2S
Silver chloride
Yes, silver nitrate is soluble in water and forms an aqueous solution.
When silver reacts with a base, such as sodium hydroxide, it forms silver oxide and hydrogen gas. The silver oxide is then converted back to silver metal when heated.

Silver sulfide (Ag2S) is a black compound that forms when silver reacts with sulfur. It is commonly found in tarnished silver objects.
The molecular formula for silver selenite is Ag2SeO3.Silver selenite is an inorganic compound which forms crystalline needles.
