Silver Azide

Silver azide can be prepared by treating an aqueous solution of silver nitrate with sodium azide.The silver azide precipitates as a white solid, leaving sodium nitrate in solution. Silver azide is the chemical compound with the formula AgN3. This colorless solid is a well-known explosive.

"Silver Azide can also be known as Argentous Azide."

Silver Iodate

Silver iodate can be obtained by reacting silver nitrate (AgNO3) with sodium iodate or potassium iodate. The by-product of the reaction is sodium nitrate. Alternatively, it can be created by the action of iodine in a solution of silver oxide. It's chemical formula is AgIO3 and has a white, crystal-like appearance.

"Silver Iodate can also be called Argentous iodate."

Silver Iodide

Silver iodide is an inorganic compound with the formula AgI. The silver contamination arises because AgI is highly photosensitive. This property is exploited in silver-based photography. Silver iodide is also used as an antiseptic and in cloud seeding. It has a solid, crystal-like, yellow appearance.

"Silver Iodide can also be called Argentous iodide."

Silver Difluoride

Silver Difluoride is a chemical compound with the formula AgF2. It is a rare example of a silver(II) compound. Silver usually exists in its +1 oxidation state. It is used as a fluorinating agent. It has a hygroscopic, white or grey crystalline powder appearance

"Silver Difluoride is very expensive, it is around $1000 - $1400 per kilogram. It can only be made by reacting with AgF or AgCl with an elemental fluorine and must be hotter at 200 degrees Celsius for the chemical reaction to work."

Silver Fluoride

Silver Fluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula AgF. It is one of the three main fluorides of silver, the others being silver sub fluoride and Silver Difluoride, or . Silver Fluoride has relatively few niche applications; it has been employed as a fluorination and desilylation reagent in organic synthesis and in aqueous solution as a topical caries treatment in dentistry. It has a solid, yellow-brown appearance.

"Did you know that Silver Fluoride can also be called Argentous Fluoride?"

Silver Perchlorate

Silver perchlorate is the chemical compound with the formula AgClO4. This white solid forms a monohydrate and is mildly deliquescent. It is a useful source of the Ag+ ion, although the presence of perchlorate presents risks. It is used as a catalyst in organic chemistry. It has a colorless hygroscopic crystal-like appearance.

"Silver Perchlorate is stupid, whos gonna use it, honestly."
