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". 😊

Ancient Greek Coinage. Archaic period (until about 480 BC). The earliest known electrum coins, Lydian and East Greek coins found under the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, are currently dated to the last quarter of the 7th century BC (625-600 BC). These coins were issued either by the non-Greek Lydians for their own use or perhaps because Greek mercenaries wanted to be paid in precious metal at the conclusion of their time of service, and wanted to have their payments marked in a way that would authenticate them. These coins were made of electrum, an alloy of gold and silver that was highly prized and abundant in that area. In the middle of the 6th century BC, King Croesus replaced the electrum coins with coins of pure gold and pure silver, called Croeseids. The credit for inventing pure gold and silver coinage is attributed by Herodotus to the Lydians. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek_coinage

Silver is attracted to the magnet only because the magnet moves. In other words it does not have magnetic attraction, it due to the low resistivity inducing a current in the silver, and those electrons then produce the magnetic force. The difference is, that a non moving magnet does not attract silver at all.
