Electrolysis

What Is electrolysis?

  • Electrolysis is the process by which ionic substances are decomposed (Broken Down) into simpler substances when an electric substance is passed through them.
  • Electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. For electrolysis to work, the compound must contain ions. Covalent compounds cannot act as electrolytes because they contain neutral atoms.
