- Electrolysis
- Oxidation= Gain of Oxygen and loss of Electrons
- Reduction= Loss of Oxygen and gain of Electrons
- Displacement.More reactive metal loses electrons and is oxidised. Less reactive metal gains electrons and is reduced
- Splitting up with electricity.
- Positive ions move to negative Cathode. Reduced
- Negative ions move to positive anode. Oxidised
- Molten or dissolved ionic compound
- Electrodes made from graphite. Electric current passed through an electrolyte
- Creates a flow of Charge
- Hydrogen gas produced at the Cathode if metal ion is more reactive than hydrogen
