    The document discusses half reactions that occur at the anode and cathode during electrolysis. The anode half reactions involve the oxidation of metals, producing metal ions and electrons. The cathode half reactions involve the reduction of metal ions by electrons, producing pure metals. Examples provided include the electrolysis of copper sulfate, nickel sulfate, potassium bromide, magnesium chloride, and aluminum oxide.
