Answer:

In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons will be equal because they balance the each other's charges. This means that every neutral atom of silver will have 47 protons and 47 electrons. If the isotope has a mass number of 107 (silver-107), the number of neutrons is 107 nucleons - 47 protons = 60 neutrons
