Silver chloride, AgCl, was indeed used in B&W photography. It is also used to seed clouds to produce rain - this has been done in Tasmania for decades, and will be used to get extra snow in the Snowy Mountains this year - there has been discussion of this recently, so you could probably find some information in recent press reports. The Snowy Mountains Authority would probably also have some info on their website.

Another silver salt, silver azide, AgN<sub>3</sub> has been used as a contact explosive, and you could talk about its synthesis, assumong you can find any valid info on the 'net. :)

If its a touch explosive you could probably find how to make it on the net, maybe not any valid info though.

Silver salts are what detect radiation on photographic film - the radiation ionises the silver salts to form silver crystals

A silver halide would be an example of a silver salt. A salt is an ionic compound in which the cation is not H<sup>+</sup>, and the anion is not OH<sup>-</sup> or O<sup>2-</sup>.
