Silver sulfide (or Silver sulphide in British English), Ag2S, is the sulfide of silver. It is black and constitutes the tarnish that forms on silver when exposed to the hydrogen sulfide of the atmosphere.
When formed on electrical contacts operating in an atmosphere rich in hydrogen sulfide, it can form long filaments known as Silver Whiskers.
