Question

question 9 (1 point) charge5. what is the charge on a silver ion that contains 46 electrons? -3 +1 +3 +2 -2 -1

Explanation:

Step1: Recall silver's atomic number

Silver (Ag) has an atomic number of 47, which means a neutral silver atom has 47 protons and 47 electrons.

Step2: Determine the charge of the ion

The ion has 46 electrons. Since the number of protons (47) is one more than the number of electrons (46), the charge of the ion is +1. So the answer is +1.

Answer:

C. +3
