Step-by-step explanation:

From the formula of each of the compounds given:

AgCl₂ : there are one mole of silver atoms for every two moles of chlorine atoms in the compound, silver chloride, AgCl₂

AgNO₃: there are one mole of silver atoms for every one atom of nitrogen and three atoms of oxygen in the compound, silver trioxonitrate (v), AgNo₃.

Ag₂O : there are two atoms of silver for every atom of oxygen in one mole of silver oxide.

AgO : there are one mole of silver atoms for very one mole of iodine atoms in one mole of silver iodide.

Therefore, one mole of silver oxide, Ag₂O has the most silver in one mole of the compound.
