Note 18 bis — Chapter XXIV · COPPER, SILVER, AND GOLD
George Kamensky translation
The opinion of the nature of soluble silver given below was first enunciated in the Journal of the Russian Chemical Society, February 1, 1890, Vol. XXII., Note 73. This view is, at the present time, generally accepted, and this silver is frequently known as the ‘colloid’ variety. I may add that Carey Lea observed the solution of ordinary molecular silver in ammonia without the access of air.
