純金屬元素，化學符號為Ag，原子序號為47，為可延展、可塑的白色金屬，帶有獨特光澤，被視為貴金屬。銀廣泛分佈於全世界，極少以金屬銀形式出現（僅見於秘魯、挪威），較常為金銀合金和銀礦。今日銀為金礦、鉛礦、銅礦或鋅礦精煉過程中所得之副產品。人類早在西元前3800年即可從方鉛礦中熔煉出銀。銀為質純金屬，其延展性及可塑性僅次於金，可經磨光呈高度反射表面，主要以合金形式用於珠寶、硬幣、攝影、鏡子、電器接點及餐具上。

英文....	Pure metallic element having symbol Ag and atomic number 47; a malleable, ductile, white metal with characteristic sheen, considered a precious metal. Silver is widely distributed throughout the world, occurring rarely as metallic silver (in Peru, Norway) but more often as silver-gold alloys and silver ore. Today silver is obtained as a byproduct in the refinement of gold, lead, copper, or zinc ores. Silver was smelted from the ore galena as early as 3800 BCE. As a pure metal, silver is second to gold in malleability and ductility, can be polished to a highly reflective surface, and used -- typically in an alloy -- in jewelry, coinage, photography, mirrors, electrical contacts, and tableware.
荷蘭語....	Te gebruiken voor het zuivere metaalelement met het symbool Ag en het atoomnummer 47. Het metaal is smeedbaar, vervormbaar en wit van kleur met een kenmerkende glans en wordt als edel beschouwd. Ook te gebruiken voor dit metaal wanneer het wordt bewerkt en gevormd om, meestal in combinatie met andere stoffen, diverse voorwerpen en materialen te maken.
