  4. 5 compounds silver is used for. • Silver (1Ag)+ azide (1N3)= Silver azide (AgN3) • Silver (1Ag)+ chlorine (1Cl)= Silver chloride (AgCl) • Silver (1Ag)+ fulminate (1CNO)= Silver fulminate (AgCNO) • Silver (1Ag)+ Oxygen (2O)= Silver oxide (Ag2O) • Silver (1Ag)+ Sulfur (2S)= Silver sulfide(Ag2S)

  5. The use of Silver. • Silver is important because it has so many different uses. • For example coins, jewelry, dishes and numerous other things. Silver is also very important for photography. It is used for the light fall in the camera lens. • In the past, silver was used for jewelry, religious artifacts and food dishes.
