== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Electrochemistry''' β The study of chemical reactions which take place at the interface of an electrode and an electrolyte. * '''Oxidation''' β The loss of electrons by an atom or molecule. * '''Reduction''' β The gain of electrons by an atom or molecule ("Reduction is Gain"). * '''Redox Reaction''' β A chemical reaction involving the transfer of electrons between two species. * '''Electrode''' β A conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an electrolyte. * '''Anode''' β The electrode where oxidation occurs (Negative in a battery). * '''Cathode''' β The electrode where reduction occurs (Positive in a battery). * '''Electrolyte''' β A substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent. * '''Galvanic (Voltaic) Cell''' β An electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from spontaneous redox reactions. * '''Electrolytic Cell''' β An electrochemical cell that uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction. * '''Salt Bridge''' β A tube containing an electrolyte that connects the two half-cells of a galvanic cell, maintaining electrical neutrality. * '''Electromotive Force (EMF)''' β The maximum potential difference between the electrodes of a cell. * '''Standard Reduction Potential''' β A measure of the tendency of a chemical species to be reduced. * '''Corrosion''' β The gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical reaction with their environment (e.g., Rusting). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
