Parts of silver
The parts of the element silver are the subatomic particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. Since the atomic number of silver is 47, the element has 47 protons. Protons are subatomic particles that have a positive charge. The number of neutrons in the element silver depends on the isotope of silver. Neutrons are subatomic particles with a neutral charge. In the most abundant isotope, there are 60 neutrons. In an element of silver with no charge, there would be 47 electrons. Valance electrons are located in the outermost energy shell of silver. Since silver is a transition metal, you need the oxidation number to find the number of valence electrons, and cannot determine it by looking at the periodic table. Silver has one valence electron. Valence electrons aid in bonding.

Dot Diagrams
Dot diagrams illustrate the valance electrons located on the outer energy level, or shell. Silver has one valance electron, so you would draw a dot in the “one” slot (positioning shown on the left). Dot diagrams also assist when drawing diagrams for bonding. To draw a Lewis Dot Diagram, you have to follow the order of organization on where to place the dots. Silver would have one dot in the one slot, because it has one valence electron.
