Meaning
A half equation is a type of symbol equation which shows how individual ions gain or lose electrons at an electrode during electrolysis.
About Half Equations
- In half equations only one ion is considered at a time, or the changes at one electrode.
 - Half equations use the letter 'e' to represent electrons.
 - Half equations can be taken from balanced symbol equations.
 - The total charge on each side of a half equation must add to zero.
 - The number of each element must be the same on both sides of a half equation.
 
Examples
| Balanced Symbol Equation | 2Li2O(l) → 4Li(l) + O2(g) | CuCl2(aq) → Cu(s) + Cl2(g) | 2H2O(l) → 2H2(g) + O2(g) | 
| Half Equation at cathode | Li+ + e- → Li | Cu+2(aq) + 2e- → Cu(s) | 2H+(aq) + 2e- → H2(g) | 
| Half Equation at anode | 2O-2 → O2 + 4e- | 2Cl-(aq) → Cl2(g) + 2e- | 4OH- → 2H2O(l) + O2(g) + 4e- |
