The symbol Ag for silver stands for the element's original name, which was argentum (Latin for silver).
The chemical symbol Ag is from the Latin word for "silver", argentum (compare Greek άργυρος, árgyros), from the Indo-European root *arg-, meaning "white" or "shining". Silver has been known since ancient times.
The element Mercury was also called "Quick Silver" and "Hydrargyrum" (Greek for watery or liquid silver and the reason why its chemical symbol is Hg). Early alchemists connected the metal with the name of the planet for its speed and mobility, and the astrological sign for Mercury was also used for the metal.
There isn't a reason for it...it just was!
No. Sterling silver is a mixture of copper and silver usually. The reason being silver is usually to soft for making functional objects. Copper increases the strength of the metal and provides increased resistance to tarnish. Other elements like platinum and germanium are also used.
The name of the chemical element is derived from the name of the planet Uranus; also Uranus was the old Greek god of the sky.
Silver is a conductor of electricity, meaning it allows the flow of electric current with very little resistance. It is widely used in electrical wiring and electronics for this reason.
Well, many people buy silver tinsel to decorate their Christmas tree. But simply the most reason is because Frankie Leso discovered the silver bell, and wrote a song. Therefore it became a color!!! 
It is true that silver is a transition element,despite having fully filled d-orbital,which defies the fact that it should be a transition element.But,silver displays +2 oxidation state such as in AgF2 and had d^9,in that case.This is the reason why it is a transition element,exceptionally.
There are many elements that can conduct electricity. Electricity is just the movement of electrons from one place to another. Most commonly transition metals such as copper are used. The reason for this is that the outer most electrons in the element's electron cloud move very easily from one atom to the next in metals.
Balancing a chemical equation ensures that the law of conservation of mass is obeyed, meaning that the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products. This is necessary because atoms cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged. Balancing ensures that the same number of each type of atom is present on both sides of the equation.
Hydrogen. It's reason is to be Hydrogen.
