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+

ALL 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. > >Marshall > > > >-- >The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver. > >Instructions for unsubscribing are posted at: http://silverlist.org > >To post, address your message to: silver-list@eskimo.com >Silver List archive: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/index.html > >Address Off-Topic messages to: silver-off-topic-l...@eskimo.com >OT Archive: http://escribe.com/health/silverofftopiclist/index.html > >List maintainer: Mike Devour <mdev...@eskimo.com> > > > >-- >No virus found in this incoming message. >Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. >Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.12.4/146 - Release Date: 10/21/2005 > > > > >-- >No virus found in this incoming message. >Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. >Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.12.4 - Release Date: 10/21/2005 > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
