Silver occurs natively and in minerals such as Argentite (AG 2S) and Born Silver (AGCL). In addition, lead, lead-zinc, copper, gold, and copper-nickel ores are major sources.
What is the old name of chemistry?
Chemistry, from the ancient Egyptian word «Kh? mia” meaning transmutation of the Earth, is the science of matter on the atomic to molecular scale, dealing primarily with collections of atoms, such as molecules, crystals, and metals.
Who is the true father of chemistry?
Antoine Lavoisier determined that oxygen was a key substance in combustion, and he gave the element its name. He developed the modern system of naming chemicals and has been called the “father of modern chemistry” for his emphasis on careful experience.
