**Electrolysis:** *"Using electricity to split ionic compounds."* -Positive ions(Cations) are attracted to,and moved towards the negative electrode (cathode) where they are discharged. -Negative ions (Anions)are attracted to and move towards the positive electrode (anode)where they discharge Discharged:When an ion gains electrons to reduce itself. Anion(+) → discharge and release electrons → Atoms(neutral).Ej e^-^ Cations(-)→ discharge and pick up electrons → Atoms (neutral)Ej e^-^  ^The\ compound\ you\ wish\ to\ split\ with\ electricity\ must\ be\ **molten(melt\ it)\ or\ dissolved**.^    **^[Half\ Equations\ for\ Electrolysis:]^** ^Explicacion:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ngXNxSyoo^ **^What\ are\ half\ equations\ used\ for?^** ^-To\ represent\ the\ reactions\ that\ happen\ at\ an\ electrode.^ **^Reduction^** ^-The\ gain\ of\ electrons^ **^Half\ Equations\ for\ reduction:^** - - - - **^How\ do\ these\ half\ equations\ show\ reduction?^** ^-They\ are\ gaining\ electrons.^ **^Half\ equations\ for\ oxidation:^** - - - - **^Oxidation:^** ^-Loss\ of\ electrons^ **^How\ do\ these\ half\ equations\ show\ oxidation?^** ^-They\ are\ losing\ electrons.^      **^[Aqueous\ Electrolysis:]^** ^**Aqueous**:A\ substance\ is\ dissolved\ in\ water\ to\ form\ a\ solution.^ ^Aqueous\ electrolysis\ uses\ less\ energy,as\ it\ doesn\'t\ melt\ it\ but\ the\ **product\ is\ different**.^
