Electrochemical Reaction

An electrochemical reaction involves the transfer of electrical energy through chemical changes. It typically occurs in devices like batteries, where chemical substances undergo reactions that produce or consume electricity. These reactions happen at two points: the anode (where oxidation occurs) and the cathode (where reduction occurs). Electrons flow from the oxidation site to the reduction site through an external circuit, generating electrical power. Conversely, applying electrical energy can drive chemical changes in processes like electrolysis. Overall, electrochemical reactions link chemical processes with electricity, enabling energy storage, conversion, and various industrial applications.
