Electrolysis uses electric current to split compounds into ions

Explanation:

Elecrolysis uses electric current passed through a substance to bring about chemil reaction. Te process allows for ionization of the substance to occur, giving rise to positively and negatively charged ions migrating between the electrodes in the electrolytic cell.

Electrolysis converts electrical energy into chemical energy, and not the other way round.
