Q

What happens in electrolysis?

A

The positive ions are attracted to the negative electrode where they gain electrons producing metal atoms

17
Q

What is an electrolyte?

A

A solution which contains ions and can conduct electricity.

18
Q

What does a cell do?

A

Converts chemical energy to electrical energy.

19
Q

How can the electron flow be determined?

A

By order of the electrochemical series.

20
Q

What non-metal can also be used in electrolysis

A

graphite
