How to Write Ionic Half Equations in Electrolysis Questions (GCSE Chemistry)

In this video I am going to teach you how to write ionic half equations which are really useful in understanding electrolysis. We will also look at OIL RIG and how to identify whether an ion is being oxidised or reduced.

It actually turns out that writing ionic half equations is really as easy as 1,2,3

1. The ions turn into atoms
2. Balance the symbols
3. Balance the charges.

After about 6 months of trying to understand half equations, this video is the first video that helped me. Thank you so much!!

THANKYOU SO MUCH THIS LITERALLY SAVED ME BECAUSE I DID NOT GET IT AND MY TEACHER WOULDNT EXPLAIN IT TO ME SO THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU HAVE SAVED ME

I have my not-gcse-but-sort-of-gcse chemistry test in one hour and I finally understand this thank you so much

[aimeesandle]

Thank you so much!! I have my gcse chemistry tomorrow and this has saved me!!

This was great but it would help if u mentioned whether they take place at the anode or cathode

Thank you soo much this was soo helpful my exams are legit a month away

thnaks mate i have a test tommorow and this might just make me cut it

[axishx]

tysm have a chemistry mock tm this was helpfull

[FranklinOita]

What about something like aluminium chloride?

Amin to that confusing on reduction is gaining electron 😂
