AnswerThe elements that make up mirrors are silycon, oxygen, and silver.Modern mirrors are made by vacuum deposition of aluminum onto a smooth base, then covering with glass. The glass makes for a smoother surface and also protects the aluminum from damage. Fundamentally, the plate is placed in a chamber which is then evacuate. Aluminum is vaporized, and condenses on the surface of the plate.
Also, aluminum can be vacuum deposited to the glass itself. It is often given a black backing to improve opacity and reflectivity. At one time Mercury was used, but no longer due to health an environmental issues.
