Electrochemistry involves the movement of electrons from "summary" of Chemistry by Russell Kuhtz
Electrochemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the relationship between electricity and chemical reactions. At the heart of electrochemistry lies the movement of electrons. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. In a chemical reaction, electrons can be transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions. These ions can then combine to form new substances. When a chemical reaction involves the movement of electrons, it is known as a redox reaction. Redox reactions can be classified into two categories: oxidation and reduction. In an oxidation reaction, electrons are lost, while in a reduction reaction, electrons are gained. The movement of electrons from one substance to another is what drives the rea...
