ELECTROLYSIS
  1. The breakdown of an ionic compound into its elements by use of electricity
    1. decomposition of an electrolyte by passage of an electric current= electrolosis
      1. Electrolyte= substance which will conduct electric current
        1. Must be molten OR dissolved in water
        2. The electrolyte is broken down by electricity passed through an ELECTRODE.
          1. Positive electrode= ANODE
            1. Negatively charged ions attracted here
                1. Neg charged chloride ions
                  1. ANION
              1. Negative electrode= CATHODE
                1. Positively charged ions attracted here
                  1. Opposites attract
                    1. Pos charged Zinc ions
                      1. CATION
                  2. In solids= charge carrier- electrons
                    1. In liquids= charge carrier- ions
                      1. Group 1 and transition metals- one extra electron, must gain
                        1. eg: Zinc ions- GAIN electrons. Chloride ions- LOSE electrons.
                      2. Electrolyte MUST be molten/solution to conduct.
                        1. thus, ions are free to move
                      3. Ionic compound= positive ions (atoms which lost negative electrons) and negative ions (atoms which gained negative electrons)
                      4. 2 ways to split up ions
                        1. Take alot to break a strong ionic bond in a GIANT structure- but with enough energy will melt and become molten
                          1. Dissolve in water.
                          2. eg; Zinc Chloride electrolysed= Zinc metal+Chlorine gas
                            1. Electrolysis can only occur on FREE substances
                              1. 1. Melt 2. Place electrodes in melt 3. Flick Switch
