Electrolysis 1. Electrical energy is carried by electrical conductors. Metals are good conductors of electricity. Electricity also flow through solutions called electrolytes. Unlike metals, there are chemically changed when they conduct electricity. This process is called electrolysis. 2. a)
b) i. Anode = Oxygen ii. Cathode = Hydrogen 3. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Bromine – Br Calcium – Ca 2Hydrogen – H + Copper – Cu 2+ Chlorine – Cl – Zinc – Zn 2+ Oxygen – O 2Lead – Pb 2+
