Question

what is a written ionic equation to represent the reaction taking place at the Positive and Negative Electrode for molten/fused Sodium Bromide?

Answer 1

Answer:

Aluminum is the most abundant metal on earth. But did you ever wonder how we obtain this versatile metal? Aluminum actually doesn't occur in the natural state, and we have to resort to the process of electrolysis, or, more precisely, electrolysis of a molten ionic compound.

Usually an ionic compound, with general formula MN, is formed by strong electrostatic bonds that exist between positive and negative ions. These oppositely charged ions are locked into a rigid structure where they are not free to move. This structure does not allow the ionic solid to conduct electricity, and hence, electrolysis cannot take place.
