what do we mean by electrodes, electrolytes, electrolytic and electrolysis
Answers
Answer:
Electrodes : An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte, a vacuum or air).
Electrolytes : An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate are examples of electrolytes.
Electrolytic : 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's ions move toward the negative and positive electrodes and react with them.
Electrolysis : A 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).

Thank my answers.... Thank u and have a nice day.....
An electrolytic cell uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction.
Electrolysis is the decomposition of an electrolyte by an electric current.
