Electrolytic Cell (4)

Movement of ion during electrolysis process (2)

Negatively charged ions (anions) move to the anode (positive electrode)

Electrolysis process (2)

Electrolysis cannot take place if there is no electric current flowing through the electrolyte

Electrolyte (3)

Electrolytes in the solid state cannot conduct electricity because there are no free-moving ions to conduct the electricity

Example of electrolysis process

Factors Affecting the Products in Electrolysis (3)

Types of electrode

Position of Ions in the Electrochemical Series (1)

In the electrochemical series, metals are arranged according to the tendency of their atom to donate electron(s)

Position of Ions in the Electrochemical Series (2)

The higher the position of a metal in the electrochemical series, the easier it is for the metal to donate electron(s)
