Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Electrolysis after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Metals conduct by electrons; electrolytes conduct by ions.
  • Electrolytes conduct only in fused or aqueous state.
  • Strong electrolytes are almost completely dissociated into ions.
  • Anode is positive in an electrolytic cell.
  • Cathode is negative in an electrolytic cell.
  • Oxidation means loss of electrons.
  • Ionic compounds conduct when ions are free to move.
  • Water helps in ionisation by weakening ionic attraction.
  • Strong electrolytes show almost complete ionisation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Anode is always negative and cathode is always positive.

Cations go to the anode and anions go to the cathode because opposite charges attract.

Electrolysis can happen with alternating current as long as current is passed through an electrolyte.
