Silver, a lustrous white metal known for its conductivity and malleability, consists of 47 protons, 61 neutrons, and 47 electrons.
Silver protons
- Protons = atomic number
From the periodic table, find the atomic number of silver.
The atomic number of silver is 47. Hence, silver has a total of 47 protons.
Silver neutrons
- Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
The atomic mass of silver is 107.8682, so we’ll take the roundup value as 108. And the atomic number of silver is 47.
Subtract the atomic number (47) from the atomic mass (108). Hence, silver has a total of 108 – 47 = 61 neutrons.
Silver electrons
- Electrons = atomic number
The atomic number of silver is 47. Hence, silver has a total of 47 electrons.
