Silver is valued as a precious metal, just like gold, since the ancient times. It's a soft, shiny, white metal with the atomic number of 47 and is represented by the symbol "Ag," coming from its Latin name "argentum" which roughly translates to "shiny" or "white." Amongst all metals, silver is best in conducting heat and electricity and reflectivity; properties that come very handy in various industries like electronics. We wouldn't call that second place now, would we?
