Hi List, Something has been bothering me for some time and recently I got into a friendly discussion regarding ions and colloids. I said the silver ions were dissolved in the water. He said that was not true....an ion was an atom missing an electron in the outer ring or one with an additional electron in the ring. He went on to state that the atom was still an atom and was not dissloved but just in intimate contact with and intimitely surrounded by the water. He stated that the atom does not dissolve by being in the water.
I tried to look it up but am not a chemist or physiscist so this is way over my head. I did see a couple of sites that showed an artist rendition of an atom surrounded by water but not dissolved even though by definition it was called "dissolved". I saw many CS sites that say the ions are dissolved but I suspect many of them are just spouting what they saw on another CS site so I would like a definitive simple explanation if anyone can give it. Thanks. Trem -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
