electrons due to their neutral charge. For electrolysis: a current source, electrodes and an electrolyte is needed. Electrodes are the conductors of electricity that are in contact with the non-metallic part of the circuit (which in this case is the solution) (Bylikin & Horner, 2014). There are two types of electrodes: anode and cathode which are positively and negatively charged respectively. An electrolyte is a liquid or solution that can carry an electric current through it (BBC Bitesize). In solid
