About this Simulation

This interactive electrolysis virtual lab allows students to observe and manipulate the decomposition of ionic compounds in real-time. Learners can control electrode positions, track positive and negative ion movement, and visualise how electrical current drives chemical change at the molecular level.

Learning objectives: Understand how electrolysis breaks down ionic compounds | Observe the directional movement of cations and anions in an electric field | Model the relationship between electrode placement and chemical reactions
