Silver salts encompass chemical compounds where silver ions (Ag⁺) are combined with various anions. These compounds find widespread use in photography, medicine, and electronics.

The primary types of silver salts include silver chloride, silver bromide, silver iodide, silver fluoride, silver nitrate, among others. Silver chloride (AgCl), for instance, is notable for its light sensitivity and is extensively applied in photography, medical contexts, and chemical production due to its properties such as low water solubility and antimicrobial effects. These silver salts are available in forms such as powder, liquid, and granules, catering to diverse applications such as photographic materials, chemical manufacturing, medical devices, and more.
