What is chemical compound used in photography?

Silver halide compounds, such as silver bromide and silver chloride, are commonly used in photography. These compounds are sensitive to light and form the basis of traditional photographic film and paper processes where they react with light to create a latent image that can be developed into a visible photograph.


Who discovered that exposing certain silver compounds to light altered their appearance?

The discovery that exposing certain silver compounds to light altered their appearance was made by Johann Heinrich Schulze in the early 18th century. Schulze noticed that silver nitrate changed color when exposed to light, laying the foundation for the development of photography.


What property of ionic compounds explains why silver halides can be used in photography?

Silver halides absorb light to form elemental silver. This is the basis for the photographic film. This is an unusual reaction and is certainly not common to all ionic compounds. Silver halides are also unusually insoluble, again not a common property of ionic compounds. In fact silver halides have quite a lot of covalent character! I am sure teacher has something in mind but its certainly not in mine.


what is the role of silver chloride and silver bromide in black and white photography?

On exposure to light both compounds forms silver metal in very finely divided state. Inside a camera the bright areas of the image projected onto a photgraphic plate or film are exposed more and therefore more silver gets deposited. This produces a "negative" of the image which is then used to produce the photograph.

What do silver nitrogen and oxygen make?

Silver does not readily react with nitrogen or oxygen to form stable compounds under normal conditions. However, silver can react with nitrogen and oxygen compounds in specific conditions to form various silver compounds.


What compounds of elements are used to make photographic film and paper?

Usually, either polyester or acetate substrates, coated with emulsion on the image side. In black and white film, the emulsion is a gelatinous substance containing silver halide grains that are sensitive to light. Color film emulsion contains silver halide in 3 layers with separation layers in between. The separation layers are designed to "channel" light to the proper layer, based on the color of the light. The sum of all the layers is thinner than a human hair! During development of color film, the silver is converted, then replaced with dye.


What elements can silver combine to from compounds?

Silver can combine with elements such as sulfur, oxygen, chlorine, and fluorine to form compounds. Some common silver compounds include silver nitrate (AgNO3), silver sulfide (Ag2S), silver oxide (Ag2O), silver chloride (AgCl), and silver fluoride (AgF).


What element can combine with silver?

Of course, silver has many chemical compounds.

What property of silver bromide makes it useful in photography?

Silver bromide (not bromine) is one of the silver compounds used to create the "emulsion" that records the latent image before it is developed. It is the most widely used of the silver salts, which are compounds that react to light and create the latent image. Bromine (not silver bromine) is released when the developer acts on the silver halides if the emulsion is silver bromide based. I'm not sure if that is the result of a chemical reaction between the silver halide and film developer, or if the bromine atoms are already present due to the reaction between light and the silver halide. I only mention this because bromine is in your question although I think you meant bromide. The bromine can be utilized to reduce image contrast in high contrast scenes, but I believe it is not widely known how to develop film in this manner, hence you probably weren't asking for the usefulness of bromine.


What will happen if you put drops of silver nitrate in to an organic compounds?

Silver nitrate can react with organic compounds that contain halogens to form a precipitate of silver halide. This reaction is commonly used as a test for the presence of halogens in organic compounds. However, for organic compounds that do not contain halogens, there may not be a significant reaction with silver nitrate.
