Answer:
Electrochemical reactions entail the transfer of electrons to or from a molecule, atom, or ion at an interface between an electronic conductor, the electrode (through which the electrons reach or leave the interface), and an ionic conductor (through which the ions travel).
Another great example of an electrochemical process is corrosion. A piece of bare iron will rust quickly when exposed to moisture, the corrosion rate being enhanced by an electrochemical process in which a water droplet becomes a miniature galvanic cell in contact with the metal (it oxidizes the iron)
