Salts of silver encompass a range of compounds formed when silver ions combine with various anions. These salts exhibit unique properties and reactivities based on the specific anion involved. Silver halides, such as chloride and bromide, are essential in photography and photovoltaics. Silver chalcogenides, like sulfide, find applications in solar cells, while silver chromate is used in chemical analysis and photography. Silver acetate and oxides are valuable in silver plating and batteries, respectively. Silver carbonates, phosphates, and other salts also play roles in glassmaking, jewelry, fertilizers, and dentistry.
