How many neutrons does an atom of silver have?
Answers:
Which isotope?
The number neutrons is the atomic weight (essentially an integer) of a specific isotope minus the atomic number (the number of protons)
107 Ag (51.8% natural abundance) has 60 neutrons
109 Ag (48.2% natural abundance) has 62 neutrons
there are several radioactive isotopes w/ weights from 103-113.those have low natural abundance, and you can figure out their neutron count on your own.
look up its atomic mass orweight & atomic number.
no. of neutrons is the atomic mass (108*, rounded up) minus the atomic number (no. of protons, 47) = 61
* (variable due to isotopes with different atomic masses)
that's the number, or my name's not Long John Aluminium
according to the periodic table silver has 60 neutrons but there are different weighs of silver so it depends.
Hope that helped.
61.
The number of neutrons will be a function of what specific atom isotope of silver you consider.
The number of neutros will be given by mass of isotope(105,106,107,108,109,11. minus the atomic number of silver (47).
# neutrons = Atomic weight of isotope - atomic number
so you would first need to find which isotope of Ag you want to analyze.
Can't you just as easily use Google to find these answers?
61, unless you are talking about some isotope.
Now, how did I derive that figure?
107Ag(isotop)\ 51.839% \ Ag is stable with 60 neutrons
109Ag(isotop)\ 48.161% \ Ag is stable with 62 neutrons
for more pl. refer:

The two most stable, and therefore common, isotopes have 60 and 62 neutrons. They occur in roughly equal quantities in nature.
42. It's always 42.
Mass number of silver = 108
Atomic number of silver = 47
Number of neutrons = 108 - 47 = 61
It depends on if it is a Silver ion or if it is just the regualr element silver. If is just the regular element then it has 60 neutrons.
