The page includes important definitions, key concepts, solved exercises, MCQs, short questions and long questions for board examination preparation.
Chapter Overview
Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the relationship between chemical reactions and electricity. It explains how chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy and how electrical energy can be used to bring about chemical changes.
This chapter begins with oxidation numbers, ionic charges and writing formulae of ionic compounds. Students then learn oxidation, reduction and oxidation-reduction reactions. These concepts are important because electrochemistry is mainly based on the transfer of electrons between substances.
The chapter also covers electrolysis, fuel cells, corrosion, electroplating, galvanic cells and the order of reactivity of metals using voltage data. Students should focus on electrode reactions, products formed during electrolysis, uses of electroplating and differences between electrolytic and galvanic cells because these are common Punjab Board exam topics.
