Silver sulfide

No Structure Information

This entry has no structure information.

To add it, be sure the Wikipedia entry contains a valid CAS number in its "Chembox", "Chembox new", "Drugbox", or "Explosivebox" template.

Even with a valid CAS number, structural information may not appear because of limitations in Chempedia's database. Stay tuned for developments in this area.

Silver sulfide (or Silver sulphide in British English), Ag2S, is the sulfide of silver. It is black and constitutes the tarnish that forms on silver when exposed to the hydrogen sulfide of the atmosphere. It is found in nature as the minerals argentite and acanthite. When formed on electrical contacts operating in an atmosphere rich in hydrogen sulfide, long filaments known as Silver Whiskers can form.
