Electrochemistry
generally describes electrochemistry as the branch of chemistry that studies the relationship between electrical energy and chemical changes. It focuses on how electrical energy can be produced from spontaneous chemical reactions (like redox reactions in galvanic cells) and how electrical energy is used to cause chemical changes (as in electrolysis). The document also explains the structure and working of electrochemical cells, including components such as electrodes, electrolytes, salt bridges, and describes key concepts like oxidation and reduction half-reactions at the electrodes.
