#"Ag":# #"[Kr]4d"^10"5s"^1"#

#"Ag"^(+)":# #"[Kr]4d"^10"#

Explanation:

The ground state electron configuration of #"Ag"# is #"[Kr]4d"^10"5s"^1"#. In order to form the #"Ag"^+#, an electron would be removed from the #"5s"# sublevel, So the electron configuration of a #"Ag"^+# ion would be #"[Kr]4d"^10"#.
