Is silver metal a mixture or pure substance?

Answer 1

Silver is an elemental metal. This means unalloyed silver is pure, but most silver jewelry will alloy the silver with other metals (e.g. copper). Silver also oxidizes easily, producing silver sulfide and/or silver oxide surface films.

Silver has two naturally occurring isotopes: silver-107 (51.4%) and silver-109 (48.6%).

Answer 2

Silver is an element. It is only one thing. A mixture is a combination of two or more things that are physically separable, and a chemical compound is a combination of two or more things that are not physically separable. Pure silver is not a combination of two things, simply a collection of silver atoms. A silver product such as a silver bracelet is most likely a compound of silver and other less expensive similar metals.
