Electrolysis 0.0 / 5 ? ChemistryElectrolysisGCSEAQA Created by: 123Created on: 19-11-20 14:57 What is the process of electrolysis? It is the process that splits up ionic compounds into their different elements. 1 of 13 What does a solution have to be able to do for electrolysis? It has to be able to conduct electricity. 2 of 13 Why does the solution used conduct electricity? When the ionic compounds are melted or dissolved in water, the ions are free to move around and the solution will conduct electricity. 3 of 13 What are the ionic compounds called? Electrolytes. 4 of 13 What's an electrode? A conductor where electricity leaves or enters an object. 5 of 13 When a voltage is applied across an electrolyte, where do the ions go? The charged ions are attracted to the electrode of the opposite charge of the ion. 6 of 13 Where do the positively charged ions go? To the negative electrode. 7 of 13 Where do the negatively charged ions go? To the positive electrode. 8 of 13 What's the negative electrode called? Cathode. 9 of 13 What's the positive electrode called? Anode. 10 of 13 What happens when the ions touch an electrode? The electrons transfer, producing elements. 11 of 13 What are negative non-metal ions called? Anions 12 of 13 What are positive metal ions called? Cations 13 of 13
