Answer to Question #103677 in General Chemistry for Nakeisha

Question

Naming ions and the cations and anions of Ag+

Answer 1

Although silver can form both +1 and +2 cations, the +2 is so rare that we usually name Ag⁺ as silver ion, not silver(I) ion.

Ag⁺ can form both cationic and anionic complexes, but it is impossible to give all their names since their number is enormous.
