Answer:-
- Electrolysis is a process in which Direct current (DC) is passed (by battery , cell or any other medium) through any ionic compound to decompose it into its constituent elements.
More To Know:-
- By the process of electrolysis one can decompose water in hydrogen and oxygen.
- Mainly two electrodes are used for electrolysis which are cathode and anode.
- Positive current is passed through cathode, In other words cathode is a positively charged electrode.
- Negative current is passed through anode, in other words anode is a negatively charged electrode.
- Sodium hydroxide which is used for many purposes is also obtain by the process of electrolysis.
