Answers
Explanation:
(1) Electrolysis: “The process of decomposition of a chemical compound in aqueous solution or in molten state accompanied by chemical change.”
(2) Electrodes : Electrodes allow the electric current to enter or leave the electrolyte solution
. (3) Ions : They are atoms which carry a positive or negative charge and become free and mobile when an electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of a chemical compound.
(4) Electrolytic dissociation : The process due to which an ionic compound in the fused or in aqueous solution dissociates into ions by passage of electric current through it is called electrolytic dissociation
Explanation:
I)Electrolysis, process by which electric current is passed through a substance to effect a chemical change. The chemical change is one in which the substance loses or gains an electron (oxidation or reduction)
2) an element in a semiconductor device (such as a transistor) that emits or collects electrons or holes or controls their movements.
3) an atom or group of atoms that carries a positive or negative electric charge as a result of having lost or gained one or more electrons. 2 : a charged subatomic particle (such as a free electron) Ion.
4) In dissociation. In electrolytic, or ionic, dissociation, the addition of a solvent or of energy in the form of heat causes molecules or crystals of the substance to break up into ions (electrically charged particles). Most dissociating substances produce ions by chemical combination with the solvent.
