Electricity Assignment

Electrolysis is the process of decomposing a substance using an electric current. It takes place in an electrolytic cell containing two electrodes (the anode and cathode) immersed in an electrolyte solution or molten ionic compound. When current is passed through the electrolyte, its ions migrate to the electrodes where chemical reactions occur. Common applications of electrolysis include electroplating metals onto other surfaces and extracting metals from their ores.
