Did You Know?

Silver nitrate has been used for centuries as a light-sensitive compound, playing a key role in early photography and photographic film development. In the laboratory, its ability to form visible precipitates with chloride, bromide, and iodide ions makes it a cornerstone of qualitative chemical analysis. Even today, the reactions of silver nitrate help students see chemistry in action—where invisible ions suddenly become visible solids.
