voltaic cell
chemical energy is converted into electrical energy by means of chemical reactions
electromotive force
generated when electrons flow from the half-cell with more negative charge to the half-cell with more positive charge
standard electrode potential
electromotive force when a half-cell is connected to the standard hydrogen electrode
salt bridge
balances charges
electrolysis
an electric current is used to break down a substance into its components
electrolyte
