Ag

While doing chemistry at school, i really used to hate learing the chemical symbols, atomic numbers and values of the elements and compounds.While growing up i soon noticed and realised that there is one metal which really attracts me - Silver

• Chemical symbol - Ag
• Latin name - Argentum
• Atomic number - 47
• Has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity

Now, silver is something that will never go out of fashion.From a 6 to a 60 year old,anyone can wear it and look chic and fashionable. I feel that it adds a lot of panache and depth to ones look.

Silver, a precious metal, is not only used to make exquisite jewellery but also has several other uses

• used for medicinal purposes
• used in electrical contacts and conductors
• used as a catalyst in chemical reactions
• used in photographic films - Silver halides
• used to make artefacts and utensils
• also,used to garnish Indian sweets :)

One thing that i have definitely taken away from my chemical classes is Silver, something that will materially stay with me forever :))
