Silver crystallizes in a face-centered cubic lattice with bulk coordination number 12, where only the single 5s electron is delocalized, similarly to copper and gold.
The Ag + cation is diamagnetic, like its homologues Cu + and Au +, as all three have closed-shell electron configurations with no unpaired electrons: its complexes are colourless provided the ligands are not too easily polarized such as I −.
Wound dressings containing silver sulfadiazine or silver nanomaterials are used to treat external infections.The three main forms of deterioration in historical silver artifacts are tarnishing, formation of silver chloride due to long-term immersion in salt water, as well as reaction with nitrate ions or oxygen. AgF 4] 2− is also known in its violet barium salt, as are some silver(II) complexes with N- or O-donor ligands such as pyridine carboxylates. Western concert flutes are usually plated with or made out of sterling silver; [109] in fact, most silverware is only silver-plated rather than made out of pure silver; the silver is normally put in place by electroplating. Argyria is rare, and so far as is known, does not otherwise harm a person's health, though it is disfiguring and usually permanent. Some scholars have thus proposed a Paleo-Hispanic origin, pointing to the Basque form zilharr as an evidence.
Silver diammine fluoride, the fluoride salt of a coordination complex with the formula [Ag(NH 3) 2]F, is a topical medicament (drug) used to treat and prevent dental caries (cavities) and relieve dentinal hypersensitivity. This was the usual Proto-Indo-European word for the metal, whose reflexes are missing in Germanic and Balto-Slavic.Some waterborne species are particularly sensitive to silver salts and those of the other precious metals; in most situations, however, silver does not pose serious environmental hazards. Mild forms of argyria are sometimes mistaken for cyanosis, a blue tint on skin, caused by lack of oxygen. In such processes, silver follows the non-ferrous metal in question through its concentration and smelting, and is later purified out.
