In solution they separate into cation and anion. -----Original Message----- From: sol [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 4:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>Highly concentrated ionic silver & argyria - a clarification
I am a bit confused by terminology in this thread. Aren't silver nitrate or silver citrate and silver chloride properly called silver compounds rather than silver ions? Somehow (no chemist, me) I had the idea that a silver ion was one silver atom with an electon missing and could not be anything else but a silver ion, with no other atoms or ions attached to it? Someone please help me out here. I'm trying to follow this thread as it is very interesting, but obviously my definitions of ions and compounds must not be right.
