A. Hi Kathy. There are about 100 materials that are not mixtures or compounds of anything else, but are the building block materials from which all other mixtures and compounds are made. These are called "the elements" and silver is one of them. You haven't told us why this arouses your curiosity, or what grade you are in, and it is usually difficult to answer a question when it has no context and when we don't know what terms and concepts the person who asked the question will understand and won't understand -- but we hope this helps.
