      Argon just needs the right environment to bring out their wild side. Get them in a mosh pit with some hydrogen, add a little pulsar dubstep, and the result is Argon monohydride. Computer simulations also show that if Argon got into a gang bang with 60 carbons, they would merge into a stable molecule.

    Brings me back to my youth in 1960 finding a pound of silver nitrate in a college dump. Made some beautiful things with the reduced product. Btw, newish alloy called “Argentum” alloyed with germanium instead of copper. Much more corrosion resistant and does not develop fire scale like sterling does in manufacture.

    Thanks again for post another video of chemical elements! 👍
    For who doesn't know the name of my country, Argentina, is inspired on the famous "Río de la plata" ("silver river" in English) because Spanish explorers of the XVI century beleaved that the actual Paraná river was a path to a huge silver deposit (the Potosí's mines, in Perú) and, in 1810, the founders of the country took the legend to bautize it with the actual name, so by analogy "Argentum/Argent" became in "Argentina". 😊

    13:20 There are some washing machines, that came into the market several years ago, that use silver in small amounts and within the construction of the drum(s) or as a solution that pours in small amounts in the different cycles of the wash. In the past, sometimes people would leave or place their silver coins in the washing machine with their laundry to give the same effect.

Additionally, the Silver maple should be slightly cheaper by a dollar or two per ounce. Thanks Again!

    Didja know that Grand Coulee dam, in Washington State, uses silver windings in some of their generators?
    WWII saw a hug demand for copper, so generators were being stripped and re-wound in silver from the US mint.
    The metal is still part of the US mint inventory, and there is no need for guards; the silver is in the rotor!
    They were supposed to revert to copper after the War, but it never happened due to costs.
    They are a tiny bit more efficient than their copper brethren...
