CHEMICAL EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC CURRENT
An electric current passed through a solution results in the decomposition of the solution into negative and positive ions. An ion is an atom or a molecule with an electric charge created by losing or gaining one or more electrons. Negative ions (anions) collect at the positive electrode (anode) and the positive ions (cations) collect at the negative electrode (cathode). The process of decomposition of electrolyte solution into ions on passing current through it is called electrolysis.
Electrolysis is carried out in an apparatus called voltameter or electrolytic cell. It consists of a glass vessel containing n e electrolyte and two metal plates call electrodes, connected to a battery. The electrode connected to the positive terminal of the battery is called anode and the one connected to the negative terminal is cathode.
