>Positively charged silver particles are already oxidised (lost an >electron).
I've seen this said several times, and at the risk of having my ears boxed by the real scientists on the list, I have to say it looks like nonsense. The loss of an electron gives a positive charge. That's not oxidation. Oxidation is picking up an oxygen atom and thus becoming part of a compound -- an oxide. Any argument with that?
