During electrolysis, matter undergoes both chemical and physical changes. An electric current is passed through an electrolyte, causing the decomposition of compounds into their constituent elements. At the electrodes, oxidation and reduction reactions occur: cations gain electrons at the cathode (reduction), while anions lose electrons at the anode (oxidation). This process results in the formation of different substances at the electrodes, effectively separating and transforming the original material.
A physical change occurs.
The changes produced by electrolysis are chemical in nature. The process involves the conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy, resulting in the decomposition of compounds into their constituent elements or ions.
There are two chemical changes in this series. Oxidation always involves chemical change. Electrolysis does too.
This is called a change in phase or a phase transition. It occurs when a substance transitions from one of the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) to another due to changes in temperature or pressure.
when matter changes state either evolution or absorption of enrgy occurs for example when a solid changes to liquid or a liquid changes to gas energy is absorbed and in case of conversion of gas to liquid or liquid to solid enrgy is liberated....
A physical change occurs.
no physical change does not change matter
A compound that can be separated by electrolysis must be in the LIQUID state of matter.
A physical change occurs.
You are adding heat/energy. It is melting.
Yes, a physical change occurs when matter changes state. This change is reversible and does not alter the chemical composition of the substance. Examples include melting, freezing, vaporization, and condensation.

gas to a liquid
Electrolysis of water to oxygen and hydrogen gas
Water is dissociated in hydrogen and oxygen.
True. A physical change occurs when matter changes state without altering its chemical composition. In this case, the change from a liquid to a gas involves only changes in physical properties such as volume, shape, and density.
The type of matter that changes its form is called a phase change. This occurs when a substance transitions between different states of matter, such as solid to liquid, liquid to gas, or gas to solid, due to changes in temperature or pressure.
