  4. Reactions Methods of extraction Silver is unreactive with water, air and acids. Mined by machines Electrolysis machine Pan amalgamation process

  5. Properties - Physical White metal with shiny surface Ductile and malleable Has a density of 10.5g/cm-3 at 20oC Melting point of 962oC Boiling point of 2212oC Conducts heat Conducts electricity

  6. Properties - Chemical Very unreactive Does not react with oxygen Reacts very slowly with sulfur compounds in air Does not burn unless in powder form

  7. Uses Coins Jewelry Artwork Photographic film Electronic equipment X-rays
