    Study Notes

    Electrochemistry

    • Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationship between chemical reactions and electricity.

    Conduction Mechanisms

    • Electrolytic conduction is the process by which an electric current flows through an electrolyte, a substance that dissociates into ions.
    • Mechanism of electrolytic conduction: ions in the electrolyte move towards the oppositely charged electrode, facilitating the flow of electric current.

    Types of Conductors

    • Metallic conductors: allow electric current to flow through the movement of electrons, not ions.
    • Electrolytic conductors: substances that dissociate into ions, allowing electric current to flow through the movement of ions.

    Electrolytic Conduction

    • When an electric current is applied to an electrolyte, ions move towards the oppositely charged electrode.
    • At the anode (positive electrode), negatively charged ions (anions) such as Cl─ move away from the anode, allowing the electric current to flow.
