Revise AQA GCSE Chemistry 4.3.2 Electrolysis of molten ionic compounds with the question bank, lessons, revision guides, and flashcards.
When a simple ionic compound (eg lead bromide) is electrolysed in the molten state using inert electrodes, the metal (lead) is produced at the cathode and the non-metal (bromine) is produced at the anode. Students should be able to predict the products of the electrolysis of binary ionic compounds in the molten state.
