$\huge{Question:-}$

What is Electrolysis process ??

$\huge{Answer:-}$

Electrolysis is the process of breaking up of an electrolyte chemically on passing electric current through it.

1. Some terms related to this:

The Cathode and Anode.

The Electrode with a negative charge is called CATHODE.

The Electrode with a positive charge is called the ANODE.

2. Cations and Anions

The positively and negatively charged particles are called Ions.

they're of 2 type

Cations - Ions with a positive charge

Anions - Ions with a negative charge

3. Electrolyte

The substance in liquid form or when dissolved in water which breaks up chemically during Electrolysis is an electrolyte.

$\sf\color{red}{Given:}$

ACCORDING TO ME:

Electro-chemical process in which currentis passed between two electrodes through an ionized solution (electrolyte) to depositpositive ions (anions) on the negative electrode (cathode) and negative ions (cations) on the positive electrode (anode). The entire system is called electrolytic cellwhich is used in several industries such as electroplating, refining bauxite into aluminum, producing chlorine and causticsoda from table salt (sodium chloride), and in analytical techniques such as polarography. Basic principles of electrolysis were discovered by the UK scientist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and were developed by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) winner of the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electrolysis is defined as a process of decomposing ionic compounds into their elements bg passing a direct electric current through the compound in a fluid form
