hi
i will help u out..........
The melting point of Silver is 961.93 º C
Your question really depend upon how much silver you intend to melt. If its a small quantity then you shouldbe able to melt it - eventually.
However I would consider buying a crucible, which should only cost say $20 - from a jewellery supply house.
Prior to use you should then melt borax into it which you should be able to buy from a chemist. This assist in the melt and create a sliding casing for the molten metal.
You can make a shape by carving some fire brick, cuttle fish or even a piece of shaped wood..........
Onec the silver is molten you can pour it into the mould and then clean it in 10% sulphuric acid + Water once it has cooled.
I usually sprinkle some extra borax over the molten metal just before I pour it. This removes any surface oxide and assists in the pour.
If you know someone with Oxy - Acetylene maybe a mechanic or plumber then this will give faster and hotter heat, which means the silver melt quicker and thus you create less oxide.
===============================================
here are the melting points of silver.........
Silver(Pure) 1761ºF
Silver,(Sterling) 1640 ºF
Silver (Coin) 1615 ºF
==============================================
hope this is the best and sensible answer uve got.......
all the best

every element could change state from solid to liquid to gas.
The temperatures of melting and vaporizing silver are a little above my answer.

yes silver can melt.
the melting point of silver is 961.78 °C (1763.2 °F)

yes!
the melting pt of silver is 1234.93 K (961.78 °C, 1763.2 °F).
In fact, silver can also be converted to gas at 2435 K (2162 °C, 3924 °F)

Yes if the temperature is high enough it changes from a solid state to a liquid state.

Yes. You can find its melting point on a good periodic table or just Google it really.
*******Uhhhhh...if gasses can freeze....guess what? Then they can melt/sublimate.

No
Utterly immutable
Like cheese in that respect
and onions
Bannanas too
