Silver

Silver (Ag) is a soft, white, lustrous transition metal known for its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity—higher than any other element. It has a melting point of 961.78 °C and is highly ductile and malleable. Though it tarnishes upon exposure to air due to surface oxidation, Silver remains chemically stable in many laboratory and industrial environments. It is typically extracted from ores like argentite and refined through processes such as smelting or electrolysis.
