1
Q
electric current
A
when metal conducts electricity and electrons move through the metal
2
Q
electrolytes
A
compounds which conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solution
3
Q
simple battery
A
called a cell
4
Q
measuring voltage between 2 different metals
A
gives measure of difference in their abilities to change their ions and give off electrons
5
Q
RULE
A
further apart the metals means the larger voltage
6
Q
data booklet
A
higher the element = easier it is to lose electrons
lower the element = harder to lose electrons
7
