Answer 2

Electrolysis

• The process of passing a current throughout a substance to produce a chemical reaction.
• An electrolytic cell is a device that consists of positive and negative electrodes that are kept apart while immersed inside a solution that contains positive and negative charged ions.
• When an electric current is delivered through molten sodium chloride, for example, the sodium ion is drawn to the cathode, where it takes an electrode and transforms into a sodium atom.
• Figure shows the process.
