Electrochemistry
Across
- 3. An electrode that does not take part in the reaction but serves as a conductor, such as platinum or graphite.
- 4. A substance that dissolves in water to produce a solution that can conduct electricity.
- 6. A term relating to numerical data or measurements in chemistry, such as the amount of substance deposited during electrolysis.
- 11. A negatively charged ion that moves towards the anode during electrolysis.
- 12. The ability of a material to allow electric current to pass through it.
- 14. A system where electrical energy is used to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction.
- 15. The breakdown of a compound into simpler substances, often using electrolysis.
- 16. The process of coating an object with a thin layer of metal using electrolysis.
- 17. The electrode where reduction occurs during electrolysis; it attracts cations.
- 18. An equation that shows either the oxidation or reduction process in an electrochemical reaction.
Down
- 1. A device that converts chemical energy from a fuel, such as hydrogen, into electrical energy through a redox reaction.
- 2. A substance that does not conduct electricity when dissolved in water because it does not form ions.
- 4. A substance that allows electric current to flow through it easily, usually a metal.
- 5. The process of using electricity to cause a chemical change, usually the decomposition of a compound into its elements.
- 7. The electrode where oxidation occurs during electrolysis; it attracts anions.
- 8. A positively charged ion that moves towards the cathode during electrolysis.
- 9. A compound composed of only two elements.
- 10. A material that does not allow electric current to pass through it, such as plastic or rubber.
- 13. The conductive materials, usually metal or graphite, placed in an electrolyte to allow electricity to flow in or out.
