IGCSE - Topic 4 - Electrochemistry
Across
- 2. A conductor through which electric current enters or leaves an electrolyte.
- 9. An electrochemical cell that uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction.
- 10. The deterioration of a metal due to a chemical reaction with its environment.
- 11. The electrode where reduction occurs, and electrons are gained in an electrochemical cell.
- 12. The process of coating an object with a layer of metal using electrolysis.
Down
- 1. The study of the interchange of chemical and electrical energy.
- 3. A chemical reaction involving both oxidation and reduction processes.
- 4. The loss of electrons by a substance during a chemical reaction.
- 5. The gain of electrons by a substance during a chemical reaction.
- 6. An electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy by combining a fuel (e.g., hydrogen) with an oxidizing agent (e.g., oxygen).
- 7. A substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water or in a molten state.
- 8. The electrode where oxidation occurs, and electrons are released in an electrochemical cell.
