What element has 47 protons in its nucleus?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

b). silver (Ag)

Explanation:

If you look at the periodic table, you just need to look at the atomic number of the element, because the atomic number tells you how many protons there are in the nucleus of the element.

But do be careful because some periodic tables have the molar mass at the top left corner, but the one I use has the atomic number at the top left corner, so make sure you look for the atomic number and not the molar mass.
