Silver halide Silver halide A silver halide (or silver salt) is one of the chemical compounds that can form between the element silver and one of the halogens. In particular, bromine, chlorine, iodine and fluorine may each combine with silver to produce silver bromide (AgBr), silver chloride (AgCl), silver iodide (AgI), and three forms of silver fluoride, respectively. As a group, they are often referred to as the silver halides, and are often given the pseudo-chemical notation AgX. Although most silver halides involve silver atoms with oxidation states of +1 (Ag), silver halides in which the silver atoms have oxidation states of
Silver acetylide evolution of gaseous products and that its chemical formula is . In reality, it is a double salt with the silver salt it was produced from, usually silver nitrate. The anion of the parent compound acts as the oxidizer in the decomposition reaction. The detonation velocity of the mixture silver acetylide: silver nitrate is 3460 m/s. That of pure silver acetylide is 4000 m/s. Silver acetylide can be produced by passing acetylene gas through a solution of silver nitrate: The reaction product is a greyish to white precipitate. This is the same synthesis from Berthelot in which he first found
