Chemistry

2. A substance that reduces another substance during redox reaction and is itself oxidised during the reaction
6. A process of electrolysis in which a metal object is coated (plated) with a layer of another metal
8. The breakdown of an ionic compound, molten or in aqueous solution, by the use of electricity
9. A type of chemical reaction where a compound breaks down into simpler substances

1. An ionic compound that will conduct electricity when it is molten or dissolved in water
3. The points where the electric current enters or leaves a battery or electrolytic cell
4. The electrode ion any type of a cell at which oxidation (the loss of electrons) takes place - in electrolysis it is the positive electrode
5. A substance added to the soil to replace essential elements lose when crops are harvested, which enables crops to grow faster and increase the yield
7. The electrode in any type of cell at which reduction (the gain of electrons) takes place; in electrolysis it is the negative electrode
10. A reaction in which oxygen is added to an element or compound
