There are 47 electrons in a neutral silver atom. Silver has an atomic number of 47, which means it has 47 protons in its nucleus. A neutral atom of silver will have an equal number of electrons. Note that silver can form ions, and it can gain or (more usually) lose electrons in the process. This means that the number of electrons can vary from one silver atom to another.
Silver (Ag) has 47 total electrons because that is the same number as the number of protons in a silver atom as well as its atomic number.

Silver has an electronic configuration of [Kr] 4d10, 5s1. It is a transition metal- it is not easy to determine what valence electrons these have, as d electrons take part in bonding, even in metals with a full set of d orbitals, d10.
If you go by the definition of electrons in the highest energy level then it is 1.
If you consider the chemistry then it is obvious that sometimes 1 and occasionally 2 d electrons take part- for example silver(II) fluoride), AgF2 silver (I, III) oxide Ag4O4.
The Periodic Table tells us that silver has 47 protons. As there are always the same amount of electrons as there are protons in ever atom, this tells us that silver also has 47 electrons.
A gold atom has one more electron than a silver atom. Gold has 79 electrons while silver has 47 electrons.
Each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons.
A silver atom has 47 protons. This is because the atomic number of silver is 47, which represents the number of protons in a silver atom.
24 electrons, remember the atomic number of an element tells you how many protons it has. The number of protons = the number of electrons (if the atom isnt charged)
Hexane has 42 electrons. Each carbon atom in hexane has 6 electrons (4 valence electrons and 2 core electrons), and each hydrogen atom has 1 electron.
