Silver particles don't break off. They are formed in the ionic solution when current passes through the ionic silver converting the ions back to silver atoms. The atoms are drawn together by the van der waals' force to form particles.
There is no such thing as a silver particle 1.26 angstroms in diameter. The silver atom is 2.88 A units in diameter or 0.288 nm. For particle sizes see : http://www.silver-colloids.com/Tables/Agradvolarea.PDF Most particles formed by the electrolysis process are much larger, being in the 10 to 90 nm range. Typically, 90% of the silver contributed by the electrodes winds up as ionic silver and 10% is particles. frank key ----- Original Message ----- From: <jrowl...@nctimes.net> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Monday, June 17, 2002 12:42 PM Subject: CS>Particle Size Question > > Can anyone verify the following: > > > > > When applying current to silver in solution, metallic silver will always > > > > > > break off at the same size, 1.26 angstroms (.00001 microns). > > > > > > This particle is so small that the next stop on the road to smallness is > > > > > > the atom itself. > > > > > http://www.herbalremedies.com/readmorabcol.html#8 > > Thanks, > > jr > > > > > > > -- > The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver. > > Instructions for unsubscribing may be found at: http://silverlist.org > > To post, address your message to: silver-list@eskimo.com > > Silver-list archive: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/index.html > > List maintainer: Mike Devour <mdev...@eskimo.com> >
