Flashcards for AQA GCSE Chemistry 4.3 Electrolysis, covering the key terms, definitions and equations you need to recall for Paper 1 and Paper 2. 3 cards drawn from 4.3.1 The process of electrolysis, 4.3.2 Electrolysis of molten ionic compounds, 4.3.3 Using electrolysis to extract metals, 4.3.4 Electrolysis of aqueous solutions, and 4.3.5 Representation of reactions at electrodes as half equations (HT only), matched to the AQA GCSE Chemistry (8462) specification. Recall questions account for roughly 40% of marks at GCSE Chemistry, so these target the marks you can secure before the paper starts.
