Silver is a relatively soft, shiny metal. It tarnishes slowly in air as sulfur compounds react with the surface forming black silver sulfide. Sterling silver contains 92.5% silver. The rest is copper or some other metal. It is used for jewellery and silver tableware, where appearance is important.
Silver is similar in its physical and chemical properties to its two vertical neighbours in group 11 of the periodic table: copper, and gold. Its 47 electrons are arranged in the configuration [Kr]4d 10 5s 1 , similarly to copper ([Ar]3d 10 4s 1 ) and gold ([Xe]4f 14 5d 10 6s 1 ); group 11 is one of the few groups in the d-block which has a ...

Silver, chemical element of atomic number 47, a white lustrous metal valued for its decorative beauty and electrical conductivity. Silver’s physical and chemical properties are intermediate between those of copper and gold. It is located in Group 11 of the periodic table.
Silver is a soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal. The metal is found in the Earth’s crust in the pure, free elemental form (“native silver”), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite.
