History
The word "Electrolysis" was introduced by Michael Faraday in the 19th century, on the suggestion of the Rev. William Whewell, using the Greek words ἤλεκτρον "amber", which since the 17th century was associated with electric phenomena, and λύσις  meaning "dissolution". Nevertheless, Electrolysis, as a tool to study chemical reactions and obtain pure elements, precedes the coinage of the term and formal description by Faraday.

Timeline

 * 1785 – Martinus van Marum's electrostatic generator was used to reduce tin, zinc, and antimony from their salts using electrolysis.
 * 1800 – William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle (view also Johann Ritter), decomposed water into hydrogen and oxygen.
 * 1808 – Potassium (1807), sodium (1807), barium, calcium and magnesium were discovered by Sir Humphry Davy using electrolysis.
 * 1821 – Lithium was discovered by the English chemist William Thomas Brande, who obtained it by electrolysis of lithium oxide.
 * 1834 – Michael Faraday publishes his two laws of electrolysis, provides a mathematical explanation for his laws, and introduces terminology such as electrode, electrolyte, anode, cathode, anion, and cation.
 * 1875 – Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran discovered gallium using electrolysis.
 * 1886 – Fluorine was discovered by Henri Moissan using electrolysis.
 * 1886 – Hall–Héroult process developed for making aluminium
 * 1890 – Castner–Kellner process developed for making sodium hydroxide

Copied from Electrolysis

In the early nineteenth century, William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle sought to further Volta's experiments. They attached two wires to either side of Volta's battery and placed it in a tube filled with water. They noticed when the wires were brought together that each wire produced bubbles. One type was hydrogen, the other was oxygen. Makaylacg (talk) 20:32, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

In 1785 a Dutch Scientist named Martinus Van Marum created an electrostatic generator that he used to reduce tin, zinc and antinomy from their Salts using a process later to be known as electrolysis. Though Martinus Van Marum unknowingly produced electrolysis it was not until 1800 when William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle discovered the process of which electrolysis works.

When it comes to the beginning of the study of electrolysis, the roots come back to Luigi Galvani's experiments in 1791 with frog legs. His thought was that by placing an animal muscle between two dissimilar metal sheets it could produce electricity. Responding to these claims, Alessandro Volta conducted his own tests. This would give insight to Sir Humphrey Davy's ideas on electrolysis. During the preliminary experiments, Sir Humphrey Davy hypothesis combination of two elements together to form a compound is electrical energy. Sir Humphrey Davy would go on to create Decomposition Table from his preliminary experiments from Electroylsis. The Decomposition Tables would give insight on the energies need to break apart certain compounds.

In 1817 Johan August Arfwedson determined there was another element, Lithium, in some of his samples however he could not isolate the component. It was not until 1821 when William Thomas Brande used electrolysis to single it out. Two years later, he streamlined using lithium chloride and potassium chloride with electrolysis to produce lithium and lithium hydroxide. Makaylacg (talk) 21:50, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

During the later years of Sir Humphrey research, Michael Faraday would become his assisstant. Thus while studying the process of electrolysis under Sir Humphrey Davy, Michael Faraday discovered two Laws of Electrolysis.

The first law State's : " The mass of a substance produced at an electrode during electrolysis is proportional to the number of moles of electrons (the quantity of electricity) transferred at that electrode."

The Second Law States: " The amount of electric charge required to discharge one mole of substance at an electrode is equal to the number of elementary charges on that ion." Simeonbauer (talk) 13:13, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

During the time of Maxwell and Faraday, concerns came about for electopositive and electonegative activities.

In November of 1875, Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran would discover gallium using electrolysis of gallium hydroxide. Producing 3.4 milligrams of gallium. That following December, he would present his discovery of gallium to Academie des Science in Paris. Simeonbauer (talk) 21:52, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

On June 26, 1886, Ferdinand Frederick Henri Moissan finally felt comfortable to perform electrolysis on anhydrous hydrogen fluoride to create a gaseous fluorine pure element. Before he could use hydrogen fluoride, Henri Moissan used fluoride salts with electrolysis. Thus on June 28, 1886 he performed his experiment in front of the Academie des Science to show his discovery of the new element fluorine. In the cost of trying to find elemental fluorine through electrolysis of fluoride salts, many chemists perished such as: George Gore, Pauline Louyet, Jerome Nickels.

Peer Review
I really enjoy your organization within your sandbox, as well as the amount of information that you used along with your sources. I like how you used your sources and backed it up with more evidence from other sources. I would maybe suggest that you organize your work with subheadings, to make it more clear of the timeline. I do enjoy the information you already have, organization could be a little bit more than just having sentences and paragraphs lumped together. I like the professional language use that you have on your edits as well as the amount of information. HeavenlyNova (talk) 15:41, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Response to Peer Review
We appreciate the feedback, it is very helpful. The idea of adding in subheadings is a great idea and we will work on coming up with appropriate titles. We are going to leave the paragraphs for now because we feel that it is appropriate for the information within them but will consider adjusting them as more information is added. Thanks for confirming that the wording and language is suitable as well as the information we have added. Makaylacg (talk) 15:16, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

instructor comments
You didn't follow instructions. These aren't the questions I wanted you to address. Make sure you see the power point I posted for those questions. They're a bit more focused than the ones below. Further, you gave 1-4 word answers, which aren't enough. Third, you didn't leave feedback or a question anywhere. Finally, you didn't submit on canvas. Please make sure you follow instructions in the future! K8shep (talk) 20:59, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
