As far as misquoting you, here is your reply to my questions about misting: -------------------------------------------------------------------- url: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m60895.html > How can a silver ion take an electron from the current passing > through? I thought the current in an electrolyte was purely ions. Current consists of electrons flowing through the electrically conductive ionic solution. Ions that take on an electron will restore the outermost orbit (that was missing an electron) and change the ion back into an atom. > Similarly, I don't see how a silver ion could grab an electron > from the anode.
