Unfortunately saying that silver is a noble metal in response to whether or not it is a heavy metal, is like saying an apple is red to the question of if it is a fruit. Silver, as are all elements, are many things, and one must look at the context. Specifically silver is a coin metal, noble metal and a transition metal. Gold is also all three of these, and copper is a coin metal and a transition meta but is not considered noble due to its reactivityl. Noble metal means that it have significant value, and does not react with other things easily. A coin metal must be malletable, and also have some value when use as a coin. The chemical term we are looking for however for comparison with a heavy metal is transition metal, occupying the area between the light metals such as sodium, lithium and potassium and the heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsnic and uranium.
