About this Simulation

This virtual electrolysis lab allows learners to observe the movement of ions toward electrodes and witness chemical decomposition in real-time. Students can manipulate electrode positions, track positive and negative ion behaviour, and explore how electrical current drives chemical change at the molecular level.

Learning objectives: Understand how electrolysis separates ionic compounds through electrical energy | Observe and explain the motion of ions toward opposite electrodes | Investigate the relationship between electrode placement and reaction outcomes
