Characteristics: Pure silver is nearly white, lustrous, soft, very ductile, and
malleable, it is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It is not a chemically
active metal, but it is attacked by nitric acid (forming the nitrate) and by hot
concentrated sulfuric acid.
Significance: Silver is one of the most important elements on Earth, and one of
the most useful metals in modern-day society. Silver's immense electrical and
thermal conducting properties are perfect for electrical uses, making it highly in
demand in our heavily technology-based world.
