Inert electrodes simply serve as electrical conductors and are unchanged by the cell processes. Active electrodes change during the cell reactions. An example of inert electrodes is platinum in the electrolysis of water. The platinum remains unchanged and the water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. An example of active electrodes is in the electrolysis of copper sulfate solution with copper electrodes. The anode copper is converted into copper ions in the solution, and metallic copper builds up on the cathode. The term active electrode is also used in eeg measurement, here as the opposite to passive electrode. Electrodes are the pads attached to the skin to get readings, and active ones don't need a conductive paste to get a good signal.
Inez used a zinc nail and copper penny as electrodes in her science project.
Various elements are used for making electrodes like copper, zinc, aluminium, chlorine, mercury, platinum etc. Elements for making electrodes are selected on the basis on their relative tendencies to gain and loose electrons.
i am not entirely sure what this process is called, but i do know how you do it! you put in two electrodes with a solution of it into a beaker, make sure the electrodes are not touching, then send a current through them and the chlorine will bubble around one of the electrodes and the copper will be wrapped around the other, this is because of the charges in the copper and the chlorine, i can't remember which one is negatively charged and which is postively charged.

it will be useless to use 3 electrodes. IT IS WASTE OF MONEY.Two , three or four electrodes can be used but it only increases the rate of reaction.
