These free silver atoms form the latent image.

Films are developed using solutions that reduce silver halides in the presence of free silver atoms.

The light waves, or photons must surely penetrate a silvered surface more than just the first layer of silver atoms.

If so, it seems that some diffraction within those few layers of silver atoms must take place.

The planes are joined by twofold-coordinated silver atoms.

A silver atom weighs about 108 times this amount.

It requires a silver atom to capture a neutron and then undergo beta decay.

"This means a high concentration of silver atoms come into contact with the micro-organism, punch a hole in its wall and destroy it."

On the other hand, a developed silver grain can have billions of silver atoms.

A silver atom weighs about the same as 100 protons.
