Electrolysis of water

The process of using an electric current to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.

Anode reaction in water electrolysis

OH- ions lose electrons to form oxygen gas.

Atomic size trend (periodic table)

Atomic size generally increases down a group and decreases across a period in the periodic table.

Ionic compound conductivity

Molten ionic compounds conduct electricity because ions are free to move.
