Silver on heating, force, drying, illumination, or sometimes spontaneously. To avoid the formation of such compounds, ammonia and acetylene should be kept away from silver equipment. Salts of silver with strongly oxidising acids such as silver chlorate and silver nitrate can explode on contact with materials that can be readily oxidised, such as organic compounds, sulfur and soot. Silver Silver is a chemical element with symbol Ag (from the Latin "", derived from the Proto-Indo-European "h₂erǵ": "shiny" or "white") and atomic number 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any
Council for Chemical Research has four membership categories: Industrial, Academic, Government Labs, and Affiliates. CCR's mission is "Advancing Chemical Innovation Through Collaboration and Advocacy." CCR serves as a catalyst and partner for initiatives in the field of chemical research, such as the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Industry Vision 2020. CCR produces and sponsors studies such as "Measuring Up: Research and Development Counts for the Chemical Industry" and "Measure for Measure: Chemical R&D Powers the U.S. Innovation Engine". CCR holds an Annual Meeting, an annual New Industrial Chemistry and Engineering Conference (NIChE), and workshops on topics such as Intellectual Property Issues. CCR
