CAIE IGCSE Chemistry Products of Molten Electrolysis

Practise predicting the products of molten binary ionic compounds by sending metal cations to the cathode and non-metal anions to the anode.

Exam points

send positive metal ions to the cathode, where electron gain forms the metal
send negative non-metal ions to the anode, where electron loss forms the element
name both products from the binary compound and distinguish molten from aqueous outcomes
