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 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 acetate is an coordination compound with the empirical formula CH3CO2Ag (or AgC2H3O2). A photosensitive, white, crystalline solid, it is a useful reagent in the laboratory as a source of silver ions lacking an oxidizing anion.

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.

Silver Cyanide is used in silver-plating. Its structure consist of -Ag-CN- chains in which the linear two-coordinate Ag+ ions are bridged by the cyanide ions, typical of silver(I) and other d10 ions . (This is the same binding mode as seen in the more famous case of Prussian blue.) These chains then pack hexagonally with adjacent chains offset by +/- 1/3 of the "c" lattice parameter. This is the same as the structure adopted by the high temperature polymorph of copper(I) cyanide. The silver to carbon and silver to nitrogen bond lengths in AgCN are both ~2.09 Å and the cyanide groups show head-to-tail disorder. It has a crystal like, colorless, grey (impure) appearance.
"Imagine knowing all the things about Silver Cyanide and posting it on Urban Dictionary and actually getting somewhere in life."
