Silver atoms contain 47 protons, while gold atoms contain 79 protons. They also have different number of neutrons depending on the isotope. The number of electrons in an atom is equal to its number of protons if the atom has no electric charge.

Do all the atoms of silver look alike?

As an element, silver has several isotopes (with different numbers of neutrons) but all atoms of an isotope will be identical, i.e. all atoms of the isotope 107Ag will be equivalent (look the same), all atoms of 109Ag will be equivalent - but atoms of 107Ag will be different from atoms of 109Ag. To the naked eye, there is no difference in the appearance of ordinary silver (silver-107 or silver-109) and that of its synthetic radioactive isotopes (mainly silver-105, 106, 108, 111).


What are the chemical symbols for gold and silver?

Gold and silver are known as precious metals. The chemical symbol for silver is AG, taken from the Latin word Argentum. The chemical symbol for gold is AU, taken from the Latin word Aurum. Symbols may be different in languages other than English.

What mass of gold contains twice as many atoms as 2.74g of silver?

The gram atomic mass of silver is 107.868 and that of gold is 196.967. Equal numbers of gram atoms of different elements contain equal numbers of atoms. Therefore, the mass of gold required to contain twice as many atoms as 2.74 g of gold is (2 X 2.74 X 196.967)/107.868 or 10.0 g of gold, to the justified number of significant digits.

What makes Gold Atoms more conductive than other Atoms?

Gold is more conductive than other atoms (except silver and copper) because of its high concentration of free electrons. Silver and copper are more conductive than gold, but gold has the advantage of being corrosion resistant.


How are silver bullions different from gold bullions?
