The document discusses key concepts in electrochemistry including electrolytes, conductors, electrolysis, and cations and anions. It defines an electrolyte as a substance that can conduct electricity due to the presence of freely moving ions. Conductors are able to conduct electricity but do not undergo chemical reactions. Electrolysis is the process of using a direct electric current to drive nonspontaneous chemical reactions through an electrolyte. During electrolysis, cations migrate to the cathode and anions migrate to the anode.
