Ken, if you have been following my discussions at all, you will realise
that I believe that clusters do indeed have a charge equal to the number
of atoms it is comprised of. Seeing that electrons cannot swim...

I have read somewhere that Ag++ atoms emitt violet light when in
suspension.
The colour of CS is related to size, and it seems that atoms and
clusters may be arranged in fractals. Maybe of 5 particles per cluster.
In this event the size of CS would increase in distinct steps...5 atoms,
25 atoms, 125 atoms and so on. This would limit the reflected light to
distinct colours also, rather than a gradual shift through the
spectrum... tends to aggree with my observations.

Yes.

TE was quite low...this was in the days when I thought a bright TE was
good. I was quite surprised at how strong it tasted and the ISE reading
of 50+ ppm was off the scale of my concentration graph.
