What is the charge of the element Silver?

isabelle.the.insomniac asked:


And how do you know it?

I thought all the transition metals told us their charges with roman numerals [ie, tin(IV) ].

If they don’t tell you, then how do you know what that transition metal’s charge is? Do you just assume it’s 2+ because that’s what all the elements in Group 2 are?

Or is Silver even a transition metal?
