The process of depositing a thin layer of expensive metals on ordinary or expensive metals is called:

Correct answer: A. Electroplating

  • A. Electroplating
  • B. Conductivity
  • C. Galvanizing
  • D. Metallurgy

Explanation

In electroplating, we have the object replacing the cathode and the metal, the anode. As the electric current is allowed to flow, the metal ions are formed at the anode, and then they discharge at the cathode which is the object.

About Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
