He is saying for a particular amount of silver, ions will present the
most surface. An ion is an atom with one or more electrons missing (or
added). A silver ion is 1.26 anstroms radius. A clump of atoms, that is
a colloidal particle, will always have some atoms and/or portions of
atoms which are inside the particle, and thus the surface area must be
less than that of the disbursed atoms or ions alone.

Although the below statement is true, in that everything that comes
off those electrodes is ions, some colloid is produced when ions
convert to metallic silver with the addition of an electron to the
ion -after- it leaves the electrode.
Other colloidal particles are made as well...mostly silver hydroxide
and some silver oxides.
There is no question that silver ions kill germs or that ions present
the largest possible surface area.
There is no smaller "particle" possible.

Ode, What do you mean when you say that ions present the largest
possible surface area? How big is an ion? How big of a surface area
are you talking about? Are all ions the same size?
Thanks.
