Define the following terms: i) Electrolysis ii) Electrolyte iii) Electrolytic cell iv) Electrodes v) Anode vi) Cathode vii) Redox Reaction viii) Oxidation ix) Reduction X) Ionic half equations Electrolysis: “Decomposition of a compound by passing electricity through is called Electrolysis”. Electrolysis is the break down of a compound by electricity. Electrolyte: A compound that does not conduct electricity in solid form but it only conducts in molten or solution form is called Electrolyte. Electrolytic cell: It is a device that uses electrical energy to start a chemical reaction. Electrodes: These are rods (plates) made up of graphite or metals through which current enters or leave. Anode: The positive electrode is called Anode. Cathode: The negative electrode is called Cathode. Redox reaction: A reaction that involves both oxidation and reduction-reaction is called redox reaction. Oxidatio...
