Where is your Periodic Table?

Explanation:

For "silver"silver, Z=47Z=47. It is thus 11 protons removed from the last Noble Gas, which is "krypton"krypton, Z=36Z=36.

And thus the electronic configuration of silver metal is: [Kr]4d^(10)5s^1[Kr]4d105s1. The Ag(+I)Ag(+I) oxidation state can be rationalized on this basis.
