I know that the number of valence electrons can be determined by the column of the periodic table, but the periodic table I have is slightly confusing. :) Thankyou!

I believe Silver is a transition metal, so its group number and valence electron is different. But sorry, don't know it's valence electron still. :c

There's a trick that you can use for some of the elements of the periodic table.

If you look at the left side column, the elements in that column have a valence of +1, and if you move right to the next column, it's +2...

Similarly, if you start on the left most column, you have noble gasses with valence of 0, if you move left from there in columns it's -1, -2...

Silver is a transition metal, and the trick doesn't work for it, but it's a +1 charge.
