Then why does a silver nitrate solution not form into a sol? If the single atom of silver is missing an electron, it will be repelling another like ion. Or do the VDW forces overcome the like-charge repulsion? JOH >>
James: Actually, isn't it true that under certain conditions some ionic species will precipitate as an unfilterable sol?
