- Electrolysis
- The splitting of an ionic compound by passing electricity through it
- In order for it to happen, ions need to be able to move (aqueus)
- Positive electrode = ANODE
- Negative electrode = CATHODE
- Negative ions attracted to the positive electrode
- Positive ions attracted to the negative electrode
- During electrolysis redox reaction occurs
- OXIDATION
- REDUCTION
- OILRIG =Oxidation is loss of electrons, Reduction is gain of electrons
