Inspired by the table... Silver
Keywords:
periodic table, chemical elements, silverAbstract
If we played for a while that the elements of the periodic table represent national team jerseys, what do you think our element-t-shirt would be? I couldn't help but think that this would be the silver (yes, I can imagine it already without stripes with a big Ag written in the center of the back). Although, it is clear that my mind made the association easier in this game. Because the word Argentina comes from the Latin Argentum which means silver. Name that was also given to our Republic due to the important mines of this metal, present in the former Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata. Perhaps then, due to this almost inevitable association between the name of our beloved country and that of this chemical element, Ag is one of my favorite elements.
