Making electricity by chemical reactions, as in a battery

is about interaction between electricity and chemical changes generally

Compounds

7.8

An ordered list of metals and ions showing which ones gain or lose electrons more easily

Surface Forms

electrochemical positive

Morphology

electrochemical = chemical (transparent) = electro + chemical

The word is transparently built from electro- plus chemical, and the meaning directly combines electricity with chemical processes.

Etymology

Electrochemical combines electro- ('electricity') and chemical ('substances and reactions'). So it means processes where electricity and chemical change meet, like the reactions inside a battery that produce electricity.
