The video demonstrates a chemical reaction between copper wire and silver nitrate. Initially, the copper wire is shiny and flexible, while silver nitrate appears like water. As the reaction progresses, the copper wire loses its shine and turns gray. Over time, silver builds up on the copper wire, forming a crystal-like appearance. This illustrates the deposition of silver on copper through a chemical reaction.
