What are the valencies of silver ? How are they specific with different compounds
Dear Student
Silver (Ag) = [Kr] 4d10 5s1
It shows mostly +1 as valency , for 4d with stable cong=figuration and loosing 1 electron from s-orbital. Mainly found with halides AgCl, AgBr
​Sometimes also show +2 valency loosing an electron from d-orbitals and showing transition elements property. Mainly found with oxygen family Ag​2S
