👉 Silver fluid, also known as liquid silver or Ag2S, is a highly reactive and toxic compound that appears as a dark, viscous liquid with a metallic luster. It is primarily composed of silver sulfide (Ag2S) and can exist in various forms, including metallic silver droplets or a colloidal suspension. Silver fluid is extremely reactive with water and oxygen, rapidly oxidizing to form silver oxide (Ag2O) or silver carbonate (Ag2CO3) when exposed. This reactivity makes it hazardous to handle, requiring strict safety measures. Historically, silver fluid was used in electroplating and as a component in certain chemical reactions, but its use has largely been replaced by safer alternatives due to its toxicity and environmental impact.
