Silver
Paperback
(Enslow Publishing Aug. 15, 2018)
"Silver has always been a precious metal, used in photography, dentistry, currency, knives, forks, and spoons (better known as, yes, silverware!). Silver is used in x-rays, mirrors, and even medical bandages. In this book, we'll explore how silver was first discovered and used, and how it forms into compounds and alloys. Readers will discover where silver fits in the Periodic Table, and how silver plays a part in modern day electronics from cell phones to computers, but is no longer used in coins, given its expense. Interesting chemistry terms are accompanied by illustrations and photographs to bring silver to gleaming life."--
