Study Notes
Electrochemistry Introduction
- Michael Faraday, a great English physicist and chemist, developed fundamental ideas of electricity, including the study of conductivity of substances.
Conductors of Electricity
- Conductors of electricity are substances through which electric current passes.
- There are two types of conductors:
- Metals and certain non-metals (e.g., carbon) where no movement of particles and chemical action occurs when electricity passes through them.
- Substances where chemical action takes place with the movement of particles when electricity passes through them, known as electrolytes.
Electrolytes
- Electrolytes are conducting mediums that suffer chemical actions by the movement of particles when an electric current is passed through them.
- Examples of electrolytes include aqueous solutions of salts, bases, and acids that are decomposed by passing an electric current.
