He is saying for a particular amount of silver, ions will present the
most surface. An ion is an atom with one or more electrons missing
(or added). A silver ion is 1.26 anstroms radius. A clump of atoms,
that is a colloidal particle, will always have some atoms and/or
portions of atoms which are inside the particle, and thus the surface
area must be less than that of the disbursed atoms or ions alone.

Ode, What do you mean when you say that ions present the largest
possible surface area? How big is an ion? How big of a surface area
are you talking about? Are all ions the same size?
Thanks.
