\newpage  \section{ES3}  \subsection{Electrolysis}  Electrolysis can be considered to be a redox reaction. When electricity is passed through a molten or aqueous ionic compound, the compound is broken down. The charged ions are free to move to the oppositely charged electrode and complete the circuit.  \\\\\textbf{P.A.N.I.C}: Positive anode, negative is cathode. Hence, positive cations move to the cathode, and negative anions move to the anode.  \subsection{Electrolysis of molten compounds}  Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity as the ions are not free to move. They are if the compound is melted, as the charged ions are free to move and carry a current.\\  In the electrolysis of a molten salt, the products are:  \begin{itemize}  \item Metal at cathode  \begin{itemize}  \item The metal will often accumulate at the bottom of the apparatus  \end{itemize}  \item Non-metal or hydrogen at anode  \end{itemize}
