Which electrochemical process is used in electroplating?

Step 1: Understand that electroplating is a process used to coat a surface with a layer of metal.
Step 2: Know that this process uses electricity to move metal ions from a solution onto the surface.
Step 3: Recognize that metal cations (positively charged metal ions) in the solution are attracted to the surface that needs to be coated.
Step 4: Realize that when electricity is applied, these metal cations gain electrons (a process called reduction) and turn into solid metal.
Step 5: Finally, this solid metal forms a layer on the surface, completing the electroplating process.
