True or False
Electrolysis is the splitting of a substance using electricity. The anode is negative. Anions are negative Aluminium oxide is found in bauxite. Cathode is negative. Cations are negative.

Cathode Negative Positive ions attracted REDUCTION happens here ( positive ions gain electrons)
Anode Positive Negative ions attracted OXIDATION happens here (negative ions lose electrons
