silver chloride
Photography's white compound
Silver chloride is a chemical compound of silver and chlorine, appearing as a white crystalline solid that darkens when exposed to light.
This photosensitivity made it essential to early photography—silver chloride in film emulsions captures images when light strikes it.
The compound also forms the basis of silver-chloride electrodes used in electrochemistry.
