Electrolysis: useful definitions and helpful hints
The following pages contain definitions and hints about electrolysis which should help you remember the important points:
- Electrolyte = liquid
- Positive Anode, Negative is Cathode (PANIC)
- Cathodes give out electrons. Anodes take in electrons
- Reduction at the cathode, oxidation at anode
- Cations are positive, anions are negative
- Cations swim towards the cathode
- Electrodes (inert and non-inert)
- Electrolysis and water
- Dissociation in liquid
- Half equations
