Episode 5 — Electrochemical Reactions

Electrochemistry All Around Us

Learners will be able to:

• Describe the role of electrons in rusting metals and powering electronics. • Explain how the electromagnetic force between charged particles affects electron movement. • Identify why some metals are more resistant to rust than others, based on their ability to hold onto electrons. • Apply an understanding of electron movement to explain how batteries recharge. • Interpret the similarities between the process of rust formation and the delivery of oxygen in the blood.
