Which outcome occurs when excess chloride ions surround silver nanoparticles?

💡 Explanation

Colloidal destabilization occurs because *double layer compression* allows van der Waals forces between nanoparticles to dominate, leading to aggregation. Therefore, destabilization is favored, rather than catalytic enhancement or dissolution suppression which require different surface interactions under different conditions.
