Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In electrolysis, what occurs at the cathode?
  • Step 1: Understand that electrolysis is a process that uses electricity to cause a chemical change.
  • Step 2: Identify the two electrodes in electrolysis: the anode (positive) and the cathode (negative).
  • Step 3: Know that at the cathode, reduction occurs. This means that substances gain electrons.
  • Step 4: Remember that gaining electrons makes the substance more negative.
  • Step 5: Conclude that during electrolysis, the cathode is where reduction happens because it attracts positive ions.
