may each combine with silver to produce silver bromide (AgBr), silver chloride (AgCl), silver iodide (AgI), and four forms of silver fluoride, respectively

rely on any other chemical process to record an image. A suspension of silver salts in gelatin is coated onto a support such as glass, flexible plastic or

X− = Cl− , Br− , or I− . Other silver salts with non-coordinating anions, namely silver tetrafluoroborate and silver hexafluorophosphate are used for

Skin is the layer of usually soft, flexible outer tissue covering the body of a vertebrate animal, with three main functions: protection, regulation, and

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

Colloidal silver (a colloid consisting of silver particles suspended in liquid) and formulations containing silver salts were used by physicians in the early

essay on combustion described her experiments of the effects of light on silver salts. She is better known for her discovery of what is now called catalysis

as cyanides. When pure, silver fulminate is chemically stable, not decomposing after years of storage. Like many silver salts, it darkens with light exposure

is usually one layer of silver salts. When the exposed grains are developed, the silver salts are converted to metallic silver, which blocks light and

After development, the film is "fixed", during which the remaining silver salts are removed to prevent further reduction, leaving the "negative" image
