👉 Electrochemistry, or electroirology, is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of electrical phenomena in chemical reactions and processes. It involves the transfer of electrons between species, leading to redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions, and examines how these reactions are influenced by electrical potentials. Electrochemical cells, such as batteries and fuel cells, harness this electron flow to generate electrical energy or perform work. The field also explores the behavior of ions in solution under electrical influence, including their movement and concentration changes during reactions, which is crucial for understanding processes like corrosion, electrolysis, and biological systems. Electroirology integrates principles from both chemistry and physics to provide a comprehensive framework for analyzing and predicting electrochemical behavior.
