Silver is the 47th element, it is quite rare and has been prized for centuries for its value. Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of any element and the highest thermal conductivity of any metal. Silver is used in both jewelery and eating utensils (silverware) as well as in a variety of industrial processes and in functional items like photographic film.
