Electrolysis

Please take a look at this link from BBC GCSE Bitesize and make notes about the electrolysis of solutions and melts. It is important to be able to predict what substances are produced at each electrode during electrolysis, so please make a note of the reactivity series of metals (and the position of hydrogen)
