Electrolysis. Illustration showing two electrodes immersed in beaker of a liquid through which an electric current is passed. In electrolysis ionic substances are decomposed into simpler substances when an electric current is passed through the solution, or electrolyte. Cations (positive ions) are attracted towards the negative cathode (left) where they gain electrons, and negative anions are attracted towards the positive anode (right) where they lose electrons. | |
