  1. 3. An electrode that does not take part in the reaction but serves as a conductor, such as platinum or graphite.
  2. 4. A substance that dissolves in water to produce a solution that can conduct electricity.
  3. 6. A term relating to numerical data or measurements in chemistry, such as the amount of substance deposited during electrolysis.
  4. 11. A negatively charged ion that moves towards the anode during electrolysis.
  5. 12. The ability of a material to allow electric current to pass through it.
  6. 14. A system where electrical energy is used to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction.
  7. 15. The breakdown of a compound into simpler substances, often using electrolysis.
  8. 16. The process of coating an object with a thin layer of metal using electrolysis.
  9. 17. The electrode where reduction occurs during electrolysis; it attracts cations.

  1. 1. A device that converts chemical energy from a fuel, such as hydrogen, into electrical energy through a redox reaction.
  2. 2. A substance that does not conduct electricity when dissolved in water because it does not form ions.
  3. 4. A substance that allows electric current to flow through it easily, usually a metal.
  4. 5. The process of using electricity to cause a chemical change, usually the decomposition of a compound into its elements.
  5. 7. The electrode where oxidation occurs during electrolysis; it attracts anions.
  6. 8. A positively charged ion that moves towards the cathode during electrolysis.
  7. 9. A compound composed of only two elements.
  8. 10. A material that does not allow electric current to pass through it, such as plastic or rubber.
  9. 13. The conductive materials, usually metal or graphite, placed in an electrolyte to allow electricity to flow in or out.
