JBB, Any silver salt or compound could be thought of as non-metallic. Indeed, silver bonded to a molecule containing carbon would be called organic. Metallic properties don't develop until a certain number of silver atoms are bonded together. Nano-sized particles of silver or other metals display unusual characteristics not found in the bulk metal.
