Question

The chemical reactions which are initiated by electricity are called:

• A. electromagnetic interaction
• B. electrochemical reactions
• C. electrification
• D. electrophysical changes

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

electrochemical reactions

The electrochemical reaction, any process either caused or accompanied by the passage of an electric current and involved in most cases, the transfer of electrons between two substances. It is a process in which electrons flow between a solid electrode and a substance such as an electrolyte. This flow triggers an electric current through the electrodes, causing the reaction to liberate or absorb heat.
