Chem elect

• What is the purpose of electrolysis?

  To split ionic compounds into their elements
• Under what conditions can electrolysis occur?

  It can occur under certain conditions
• What are the conditions required for electrolysis to take place?

  1. D.C electricity allows for separation of charge
  2. Solution or molten ionic compound is needed
• What type of electricity is required for electrolysis?

  1. D.C electricity
• How does D.C electricity facilitate electrolysis?

  It allows for separation of charge
• What states of ionic compounds can be used in electrolysis?

  Solution or molten ionic compound
• the first ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms
• ionic compounds are formed when metals react with nonmetals, or when two nonmetals react together
• covalent bonds form between nonmetal elements
• Ionic compounds have high melting points because they require a lot of energy to break the strong bonds between oppositely charged ions.
