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
Thermal conductivity is the electronic thermal conductivity when the electrochemical potential gradient inside the sample is zero, as a starting point. As next step the transport coefficients are written as following where formula_56 and "a" the Bohr radius. The dimensionless integrals "I" are defined as where "s"("x") is the dimensionless transport distribution function. The integrals "I" are the moments of the function where "x" is the energy of carriers. By substituting the previous formulas for the transport coefficient to the equation for "λ" we get the following equation From the previous equation we see that "λ" to be zero the bracketed term
