How can we explain the products of electrolysis of

Copper Sulfate?I think this is

irrelevantI think this is relevant

I know this is irrelevant

I know this is relevant

Ions are attracted to the different electrodes

Copper Sulfate is soluble

Water can be separated into ions

Some ions are more strongly attracted to electrodes than

others

More reactive ions are preferentially formed at

electrodes

Hydrogen is one of the products

Electricity passes through the solution

Ions are charged atoms
