Def. Electrolyte.A chemical compound that ionizes when dissolved or molten and thus produces an electrically conductive medium. This includes most acids, salts and bases.
Def. Electrolysis.The passage of an electric current through an electrolyte with subsequent migration of positively and negatively charged ions to the negative and positive electrodes and ensuing chemical changes.
Def. Electrolytic cell.A cell in which electrolysis occurs, consisting of an electrolyte through which current from an external source is passed, by a system of electrodes, in order to produce an electrochemical reaction.
Def. Anode.(1) The positive electrode of an electrolytic cell. See Fig. 2. (2) The negative terminal of a voltaic or primary cell.
Def. Cathode.(1) The negative electrode of an electrolytic cell. See Fig. 2. (2) The positive terminal of a voltaic or primary cell.
Def. Anion.Negatively charged ion.
Def. Cation.Positively charged ion. Electroplating is the process of plating one metal onto another by hydrolysis, most commonly for decorative purposes or to prevent corrosion of a metal. There are also specific types of electroplating such as copper plating, silver plating, and chromium plating.Electroplating allows manufacturers to use inexpensive metals such as steel or zinc for the majority of the product and then apply different metals on the outside to account for appearance, protection, and other properties desired for the product. The surface can be a metal or even plastic.
