Silver

Silver is more than just jewelry, and this 12-question quiz digs into its chemistry and everyday uses.

You will see questions such as What is the atomic number of silver? and What compound is used for small batteries?, with a few true or false items at the end.

A point that often surprises students is that pure silver is actually quite soft, so it gets mixed with other metals for strength. It also beats every other metal as a conductor of heat and electricity.
