Silvercide Ionic Nano Silver Hydrosol

An ion is a element which has lost or gained an  electron via a change like electrolysis. In chemistry this is referred  to as a chemical change; further, there are two types of ions, anions  with a negative charge, and cations with a positive charge.     When silver has lost an electron during electrolyis, it is left with a  net positive charge since it now has 46 electrons (-) from 47, while  maintaining its 47 protons (+). Further, silver ions can be large or  small with the smallest being of nano size, defined by a diameter of  1-100 nanometers. The nano silver cation is highly valued for its ionic  charge and tiny particle size.

Ionic Reaction

2H20 + 2Ag -> H2 + 2Ag(+) + 2OH(-)

Colloids are simply particles suspended in water,  meaning they do not dissolve, and silver colloids are the insoluble  particles (Ag) and oxides (Ag2O) which are often produced by colloidal silver generators. Generally these particles range from 1-100  microns in size (1 micron = 1000 nm), with oxides being formed when  unreacted colloids bond with hydroxide during electrolysis. Colloids are  less desired for their oxides and large particle sizes, which are on  average 1000 times larger than nano silver particles.
