Silver is a metal. Metals usually can take on many charges and lose "free" electrons from orbitals other than the outer one. However, silver is unusual in that it only takes a +1 charge indicating it has 1 free electron on its valence shell.

What is electron removal energy?

Electron removal energy (also called ionization energy) is the amount of energy needed to remove an electron from an atom or molecule. It is typically measured in electronvolts (eV) or kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol) and represents the strength of the attraction between the electron and the nucleus of the atom.


What is the number of electron?

The number of electrons (charge -1 per e) in a certain atom is equal to the the number of protons (charge +1 per p), since it's neutral. The proton number is the same as the atom number of that particular element (atom) in the periodic table.
