Elements in same group / family tend to have similar properties (but not exactly the same). Since, iron and silver are in two different group / families, they have different properties.

Also, Silver and iron have different properties because they have different atomic structure. Having different atomic structure means bonding differently with other elements. So, they have different properties.
