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.

## A silver ion is about 0.000252 microns in diameter.
It can vary a little with energetic state, but in any practical
manner, they are all the same size.
An ion takes up space and has mass, therefore it is technically a
particle..and that technicality is often used to confuse people on
purpose in order to mis-represent products...as is, less often, the
obverse of that technicality.
Particles : This is only in Physics- and is usually referring to
energetic particles like radiation, electrons, photons, neutrons,
quarks, the list goes on- things that are way way smaller than an ion.
Anyway, that's my position, and I'm sticking to it!
lol
doesn't ionizing radiation mean that the radiation energy knocks an
electron out of it's orbit, causing the atom to become an ion?
