IGCSE CHEMISTRY
C5 ELECTRICITY AND CHEMISTRY

Before you start you can look back at 8EF Elements, Mixtures and Compounds .


If you only remember one thing:

THE CATHODE IS THE NEGATIVE ELECTRODE; IT ATTRACTS CATIONS (METALS AND/OR hYDROGEN). tHE ANODE IS THE POSITIVE ELECTRODE; IT ATTRACTS ANIONS (NON-METALS).

This is the fifth of the 14 Chemistry units:
Atoms (C1-3)
Compounds (C1-3)
Mixtures (C2,3)
C4. Stoichiometry
C5. Electricity and Chemistry 
C6. Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions
C7. Chemical Reactions
C8. Acids, Bases and Salts
C9. The PeriodicTable
C10. Metals
C11. Air and Water 
C12. Sulphur 
C13. Carbonates 
C14. Organic Chemistry
