Ag2 ++

Would that not, then, be 2 ions? 
Or would that be 2Ag+ ?
What of those magical repulsive forces?
 Water would seem to be in a muddle.. ey?   The shotgun wedding crowd
control factor.  :-)
[Not entirely relevent, but]    What think thee of, say,  Ag3+

ionic compounds become positive and negative ions when dissolved in water.
For instance sodium carbonate will split up into a positive Na2++ and a
negative CO3--, once again more than one atom.
