If silver dissolves in water, why would a colloid consisting of 5 nm silver particles still be a colloid several months later? I have such 5 nm colloids that have not turned to ionic solutions. frank key >>
Frank: Because the colloidal particles are pure silver, and, therefore, cannot setup microcells which create the electrochemical potential to dissolve silver.
