How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in a silver atom, with a mass number of 108?

Answer 1

Atomic Mass or Mass Number

As an atom is electrically neutral, meaning it has the same number of protons and electrons, silver has 47 electrons revolving around the nucleus. Hope this helps, thanks. Atomic mass, also known as mass number, is defined as the number of protons and neutrons present inside the nucleus. In the case of Ag (Silver), it has 47 protons and 61 neutrons. We don't include in the definition of mass number.
