    The document describes two types of electrolysis: molten and aqueous. In molten electrolysis, non-metals form at the anode and metals form at the cathode. In aqueous electrolysis, oxygen forms at the anode when using concentrated acids or bases, while hydrogen forms and metals form at the cathode in dilute solutions. The document also includes examples of reactions and lists the reactivity series of metals.
