Electrolysis of aqueous
solution
Electrolysis :

A process whereby compounds in


molten and aqueous state are
broken down into their constituent
elements by passing electricity
through them

Electrolyte
Substance that can conduct electricity when
they are in molten state or aqueous and
undergoes chemical change
Ionic compound
Dissolve
it in
water

Heat it
