Cation
charged ion, attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.
Anion
negatively charged ion, attracted to the anode in electrolysis.
Ionic Compound
solids with high melting points and conduct electrical current
Molecule
atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
Compound
composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture.
State
particular condition that someone or something is in at a specific time.
Metal
solid material which is typically hard; iron, gold, silver, and aluminium, and alloys such as steel).
