To identify the atoms in the chemical formula [tex]$AgNO_3$[/tex], let's break it down step-by-step.

1. Identify Silver (Ag):
- The formula [tex]$AgNO_3$[/tex] shows one atom of Silver (Ag).

2. Identify Nitrogen (N):
- The formula indicates one atom of Nitrogen (N).

3. Identify Oxygen (O):
- The subscript '3' after Oxygen (O) in the formula [tex]$AgNO_3$[/tex] indicates there are three atoms of Oxygen.

Therefore, the compound [tex]$AgNO_3$[/tex] consists of:
- 1 atom of Silver (Ag)
- 1 atom of Nitrogen (N)
- 3 atoms of Oxygen (O)

Matching this with the answer choices, the correct answer is:

B. [tex]$1 Ag , 1 N , 3 O$[/tex]
