You are the one that has argued that metallic silver CS forms no ions. Now you are saying that silver may form ions at the water inferface? I see no reason to think that a clump of silver will behave any different whether it has 1000 atoms or a trillion as far as ionization. Marshall >>
Marshall: There could indeed be a difference between "1000 atoms or a trillion as far as ionization [is concerned]" because non-silver atoms (much more likely to be encountered in a trillion as opposed to a 1000 atoms) setup the electrochemical potential to corrode silver which forms the aqueous ions.
