- Is
- Gain
- Decomposition of compounds using electricity
- Electrolytes
- The substance being broken down
- Liquid which conducts electricity
- ANODE (+)
- NON-METALS are attracted here
- NEGATIVE anions
- OXIDATION
- Loss of electrons
- CATHODE (-)
- METALS are attracted here
- POSITIVE cations
- REDUCTION
- Gain of electrons
- Half Equations
- E.g. Lead Bromide
- Lead
- Pb2+ + 2e- ---Pb
- Cathode
- Electrons are gained
- Bromine
- 2Br- ---- Br2 + 2e-
- Anode
- Electrons are lost here
- Lead
- E.g. Lead Bromide
- PANIC
