Silver Chloride vs. Silver Bromide

Both silver chloride and silver bromide are non-glass optical ceramics. There are 12 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is silver chloride and the bottom bar is silver bromide.
