- Electrolysis
- during electrolysis, an electric current is passed through an electrolyte. the ions move towards the electrodes, where they react, and the compound decomposes
- ionic solids cant be electrolysed because the ions are in fixed positions and cant move
- molten ionic compounds can be electrolysed because the ions can move freely and conduct electricity
- positive ions--->cathode and lose electrons
- negative ions-->anode and gain electrons
- *HALF EQUATIONS*
