Explanation:
Electrolysis, process by which electric current is passed through a substance to effect a chemical change. ... The process is carried out in an electrolytic cell (q.v.), an apparatus consisting of positive and negative electrodes held apart and dipped into a solution containing positively and negatively charged ions.
Answer:
a process in which a chemical change , especially decomposition, is brought about by passing an electric current through a solution of electrolytes so that the electrolyte ions move towards the negative and positive and react with them. If negative ions move toward the anode, they lose electrons and become neutral, resulting in an oxidation reaction. This also happens if atoms of the anode lose electrons and go into the electrolyte solution as positive ions. If positive ions move toward the cathode and gain electrons, becoming neutral, a reduction reaction takes place. Electrolysis is used for many purposes, including the extraction of metals from ores, the cleaning of archaeological artifacts, and the coating of materials with thin layers of metal (electroplating).
