Electrolysis

A solution of Lithium Fluoride is separated using electrolysis.

During this process the lithium ions are attracted to the cathode where they gain electrons to form lithium atoms. This is a reduction reaction.

The fluorine ions are attracted to the anode, where they lose electrons to form fluorine atoms. This is an oxidation reaction.
