I'm thinking of randomly picking the winner from the correct answers this time, rather than taking the first correct answer:

Silver chloride, silver bromide and silver iodide are the three silver "halide" compounds used in photography. The halide elements include fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine.

Film is DEVELOPED using acids and cleaners.
The Silver (AgNO3, "silver nitrate") is as poison that is part of the film itself before exposure and processing. The development of the film fixes and locks the silver as well as makes it fixed so that it doesn't continue to react when exposed to sunlight.
