Could anyone who can tell me the difference between Ag2O and AgO, and how about the solubility of the inorganic matters in pure water?
Any answers and discussion will be highly appreciated!

ag2o has two atoms or one molecule of ag while ag has only one atom of ag.they also differ in valance.

Brown Ag2O is the normal oxide of silver. I have never come across AgO, which would be called silver(II) oxide. It would be a powerful oxidising agent.
Both compounds would have appreciable covalent character, and be virtually insoluble.

The difference is 1 silver atom.
