Electrochemistry 1

4. The electrode where oxidation occurs.
5. The substance in a redox reaction that loses electrons and gets oxidized
7. A solid electrical conductor (like a metal) that provides a surface for the redox reactions to occur.
10. A redox reaction (short for reduction-oxidation) is a chemical reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, ions, or molecules.
11. A substance, usually a liquid, that contains ions and can conduct electricity.
12. A device that either generates electrical energy from a spontaneous redox reaction or uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction.
14. The substance in a redox reaction that gains electrons and gets reduced.

1. A number assigned to an element in a compound that represents its gain or loss of electron in a redox reaction.
2. An electrochemical cell that uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction.
3. A device used in an electrochemical cell to connect its two half-cells.
6. An electrochemical cell that produces electrical energy from a spontaneous redox reaction.
8. The process in which an atom, ion, or molecule loses electrons
9. The process in which an atom, ion, or molecule gains electrons
13. The electrode where reduction occurs.
