To find out the number of neutrons  for  silver(Ag) ,we have to have knowledge about atomic number,atomic mass,mass number of  silver(Ag)
.Click picture to see clearly.



                    Step-1:



●The atomic number of 
 silver(Ag)  is the number of protons in silver(Ag) nucleus.



●The atomic mass of 
 silver(Ag)   is the average number of  protons plus neutrons of all the isotopes of   silver(Ag) .


●The masss number of 
 silver(Ag)  is the number of protons plus neutrons of a specific isotope of  silver(Ag)   .

                    Step-2:

We need to convert atomic mass of 
 silver(Ag)  to mass number of  silver(Ag) by rounding if necessary (In case of fraction) .





From periodic table,


  ●Atomic number of 
 silver(Ag) is 47.

●Atomic mass of  
silver(Ag) is 107.87

●To find out mass number,we need to round 
107.87 to a whole number.


So,by rounding,we are getting the  mass number of silver(Ag).The mass number of silver(Ag) is 108.




                    Step-3:

How Many Neutrons Does silver(Ag)  Have?

By the difference between mass number and atomic number of 
silver(Ag),we get the number of neutrons in silver(Ag).


●Number of neutrons=108-47=61

In another way,

●Mass number=Protons +Neutrons

Or,108 =47+Neutrons

Or,108-47=Neutrons

Therefore,
Neutrons=61





Therefore,the number of neutrons in silver(Ag) is 61 here for this isotope.Remember that neutrons are present in the nucleous of silver(Ag) and it's charge is zero.

●Number of protons in 
silver(Ag) is 47.Protons are present in the nucleus of silver(Ag) .





● Number of electrons in 
silver(Ag)  is 47.Remember that number of electron equals to proton in a neutral atom.Eletrons are present outside of nucleus of silver(Ag)  .
