Dear student,

When electricity is passed through an liquid solution of an ion or an electrolyte, a chemical reaction called electrolysis occurs. When electricity flows, chemical changes happen. For example, lets take a solution of sodium chloride. At the positive electrode, the anode, oxidation occurs as electrons are pulled from negatively charged chloride ions.

2Cl- ==> Cl2 + 2e-

At the negative electrode, the cathode, reduction occurs as electrons are added to positively charged sodium ions.

Na+ + e- ==> Na

In affect, it splits the sodium and chlorine back into their elements.
