The solubility product is temporarily exceeded in a saturated solution causing it to be metastable. As the solution cools the cations are forced to take an electron from a companion anion causing the cations to become atoms. Atoms are pulled together by van der Waal's force forming particles. frank key -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
