Check the periodic table. Silver has an atomic weight of 108, heavy metals start about 200. Silver is a transition metal.
http://www.chemicalelements.com/groups/transition.html lists the transition metals http://www.chemicalelements.com/elements/ag.html shows silver is a transition metal. http://www.i-a-s.de/IAS/science/uil/Transition-Metal-Systems-2-Sellers-IAS.html Chemistry Images I. Transition Metal Systems http://www.johnco.cc.ks.us/~csilla/transname.html Names of Ionic Compounds containing Transition Metal Ions http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~matsci/Periodic_Table/elements/Ag.htm lists silver as a transition metal. http://www.anticorp.com/hardcorp/periodic/silver.htm lists silver as a transition metal I could probably find 100 more, since this is a simple chemistry question.
