Question | Answer |
A gas which forms at cathode | Hydrogen |
Which ions are attracted to the cathode | Metals ions (or cations) |
The positive electrode | Anode |
Which ions are attracted to the anode | Non-metals ions (or anions) |
The negative electrode | Cathode |
How the metal ions become atoms at the cathode | Gain electrons |
A positively charged ion | Cation |
How the non-metal ions become atoms at the cathode | Lose electrons |
A negatively charged particle | Anion |
What state compounds must be in order to separate by electrolysis | Molten |
What is a charged particle | Ion |
What is oxidation? | Loss of electrons |
What is reduction? | Gain of electrons |
Describe how to make the ions in an ionic compounds mobile | Melt the compound or Dissolve it in water |
The charge formed on metals ions | Positive |
Is this a possible reaction at an anode? Mg+2 + 2e- Mg | No, at the anode non-metals ions are losing electrons, non-metal ions are oxidised |
The charge normally formed on non-metal ions | Negative |
A possible reaction at a cathode? Mg+2 + 2e- Mg | Yes, at the cathode, metal ions gain electrons, metal ions are reduced |
Is this an oxidation or a reduction? 2Cl- Cl2+2e- | Oxidation, because electrons are lost |
Is this an oxidation or a reduction? Mg+2 + 2e- Mg | Reduction, because electrons are gained |

What will be collected at the cathode during the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution (inert electrodes)? | Copper |
What will be collected at the anode during the electrolysis of sodium sulfate solution (inert electrodes)? | Oxygen |
What will be collected at the cathode during the electrolysis of sodium sulfate solution (inert electrodes)? | Hydrogen |
Describe and Explain the reaction taking place at the cathode during electrolysis, in terms of electron transfer | At the Cathode, the metal ion gains electrons: it is a reduction [Have you used keywords? Have you said HOW MANY electrons?] |
Describe and Explain the reaction taking place at the anode during electrolysis with INERT electrode, in terms of electron transfer | At the Anode, the non-metal ion lose electrons: it is an oxidation [Have you used keywords? Have you said HOW MANY electrons?] |
Describe and Explain the reaction taking place at the anode during electrolysis with ACTIVE electrode, in terms of electron transfer | At the Anode, the Copper metal ATOMS lose electrons to form IONS; the copper ion dissolve in solution: it is an oxidation [Have you used keywords? Have you said HOW MANY electrons?] |
Why does an ionic compound only conduct electricity when molten? | ions are free to move |
What are the electrodes made of in the purification of copper? | Copper metal |
What are the ions in molten Copper Chloride? | Copper ions and Chloride ions |
What are the ions in Copper Chloride solutions? | Copper ions, Hydrogen ions, Hydroxide ions and Chloride ions |
