- tomp 7y agoI was just wondering this. What industrial applications does silver have? Gold is the most malleable and one of the most ductile metal (can be stretched into a single-atom wire, or flattened into a single-atom sheet), it's a great conductor of electricity and almost non-reactive (therefore non-corrosive and non-toxic).
