Silver 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 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. Most silver is produced as a byproduct of copper, gold, lead, and zinc refining. Silver has long been valued as a precious metal. Silver
Non-logical symbol over the signature mentioned above is the ordered group of integers. Its domain is the set formula_1 = {…, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, …} of integers. The binary function symbol + is interpreted by addition, the constant symbol 0 by the additive identity, and the binary relation symbol < by the relation less than. Outside a mathematical context, it is often more appropriate to work with more informal interpretations. Rudolf Carnap introduced a terminology distinguishing between logical and non-logical symbols (which he called "descriptive signs") of a formal system under a certain type of interpretation, defined by what they
