===About Electrodes===
: The A [[Negative Charge|negative]] [[electrode]] is referred to as the [[cathode]].: The A [[Positive Charge|positive]] [[electrode]] is referred to as the [[anode]].
: [[Electrode]]s are used during [[electrolysis]] of [[Ionic Compound|ionic compounds]].
: In [[electrolysis]] [[Positive Ion|positive ions]] are [[attract]]ed to the [[cathode]] where they gain [[electron]]s to become [[Neutral Charge|neutral]] [[atom]]s.
: In [[electrolysis]] [[Negative Ion|negative ions]] are [[attract]]ed to the [[anode]] where they lose [[electron]]s to become [[Neutral Charge|neutral]] [[atom]]s or [[compound]]s.
