 REDOX REACTION

OXIDATION REDUCTION
Atom/substance releases electron Atom/subtance gains electron
Ex : Au (atom)  Au3+(ion) + 3e Ex : Au3+(ion) + 3e  Au (atom)

 Definition of electroplating
Electroplating is process to plate metal by other metal with
electrolysis

Purpose of electroplating
The purposes of electroplating are protecting metal of corrosion
and making performance of metal better
Examples:
We plate iron by chromium to make the iron resists corosion
We plate copper ring by gold to make the ring looks better
