Argon walks into a bar. Bar man says, "We don't serve noble gases." Argon doesn't react.

[@tanzaniteblueeye4805]

Argon is boring make silverazide!!!

[@Subparanon]

Argon just needs the right environment to bring out their wild side. Get them in a mosh pit with some hydrogen, add a little pulsar dubstep, and the result is Argon monohydride. Computer simulations also show that if Argon got into a gang bang with 60 carbons, they would merge into a stable molecule.

Brings me back to my youth in 1960 finding a pound of silver nitrate in a college dump. Made some beautiful things with the reduced product. Btw, newish alloy called “Argentum” alloyed with germanium instead of copper. Much more corrosion resistant and does not develop fire scale like sterling does in manufacture.

Thanks again for post another video of chemical elements! 👍 For who doesn't know the name of my country, Argentina, is inspired on the famous "Río de la plata" ("silver river" in English) because Spanish explorers of the XVI century beleaved that the actual Paraná river was a path to a huge silver deposit (the Potosí's mines, in Perú) and, in 1810, the founders of the country took the legend to bautize it with the actual name, so by analogy "Argentum/Argent" became in "Argentina". 😊

[@--Paws--]

13:20 There are some washing machines, that came into the market several years ago, that use silver in small amounts and within the construction of the drum(s) or as a solution that pours in small amounts in the different cycles of the wash. In the past, sometimes people would leave or place their silver coins in the washing machine with their laundry to give the same effect.

[@robbedoeslegrand236]

There is also a deodorant using silver to do that. And there are some silver pallets in my airhumidifier to prevent the water from going smelly after some days.

[@davidarundel6187]

Medicinally, silver is essential for brain & nerve functions. It also has antibiotic propertys when ionised in "clean water".

[@gatutku]

It's so bad that videos with quality like this not popular yet, i hope this channel can educate more and more people

Note that silver does NOT have the highest thermal conductivity, just the highest among pure metals. There are plenty of substances and even pure elements that conduct heat much better, for instance diamond, but even that doesn't hold a candle to a heat pipe.

I really love your videos! Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge! I collect Silver and just wanted t suggest that you might prefer using the Canadian Silver Maple leaf coin as it is even more pure (.9999 fine) as opposed to the American Silver Eagle which is .(999 fine)... they actually both have the same amount of silver but the Silver eagle has a small amount of copper to make it stronger. Additionally, the Silver maple should be slightly cheaper by a dollar or two per ounce. Thanks Again!

It was not clear from the pronounciation, but there are three distinct silver compounds with similar pronounciation but different nature: silver NITRATE - AgNO3 - the photographic stuff silver NITRIDE - Ag3N - the explosive stuff silver NITRITE - AgNO2 - reagent useful for organic chemistry, e.g. oxidation and substitution reactions

Great video but I wish it would have touched more upon silvers anti bacterial properties. For instance milk stored in a silver pitcher will spoil slower and many silver solutions can be used as topical antibacterial treatments. Some people even drink colloidal silver in the mistaken idea that it will make them healthier, and instead the metal is deposited in the skin and gums, turning them dark.

Silver is the best conductor at room temperature, they used it in the manhattan project as at the time superconductivity was not yet discovered and they needed the strongest possible electromagnet. Nothing to do with copper scarcity, please check your facts.

Isn't gold a better conductor than silver?

[@dreggory82]

@@milokaw4193 no, it's not even as good as copper for conductivity. But it is the 3rd most conductive element. However, it doesn't form resistive oxides, which makes it an excellent plating for electrical contacts.

I had a horrible experience with silver nitrate. In my school, we had a science exhibition and my team and I were demonstrating fun and interesting chemical reactions. One of which was dissolving copper pellets in silver nitrate solution to form copper nitrate and obtain silver on surface of copper pellets. When I was disposing off the the remaining mixture of copper, copper nitrate and silver nitrate, a lot of it splashed onto my hand and my hand was covered in black spots for a month! I wish i had known this trick earlier

[@pirobot668beta]

Didja know that Grand Coulee dam, in Washington State, uses silver windings in some of their generators? WWII saw a hug demand for copper, so generators were being stripped and re-wound in silver from the US mint. The metal is still part of the US mint inventory, and there is no need for guards; the silver is in the rotor! They were supposed to revert to copper after the War, but it never happened due to costs. They are a tiny bit more efficient than their copper brethren...
