DEAR SREE,
             The decomposition of a chemical compound in the molten state (or) in the solution state into
constituent elements under the influence of an applied EMF is called electrolysis.

@ sree
In chemistry and manufacturing, electrolysis is a method of using a direct electric current (DC) to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. Electrolysis is commercially highly important as a stage in the separation of elements from naturally occurring sources such as ores using an electrolytic cell.
