Reaction equations contains symbols which show the physical state of the reactants and products.
<h3>What is a chemical equation:</h3>
A chemical equation is an expression that shows the interaction of reactants to yield products. Usually, symbols such as (s), (l), (g), and (aq) are used to show the state of the reactants and products.
The following are the respective meanings of these symbols;
- (s) - solid
- (l) - Liquid
- (g) - gas
- (aq) - dissolved in water

During the electrolysis of the molten lithium chloride, the Lithium ions (Li⁺) at the cathode undergoes reduction, and the electron configuration of lithium becomes 1s²2s¹.
<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>
Electrolysis can be described as the process in which the electric current is passed through the chemical compound to break them. In this process, the atoms and ions are interchanged by the addition or removal of electrons.
The ions are allowed to move freely in this process. When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water then ions are produced which can move freely.
During the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride, the lithium ions reach the cathode and accept the electrons while chloride ions reach at anode and loss electrons to become chlorine gas.
At anode : 2 Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻
At cathode: 2 Li⁺ + 2e⁻ → Li

Decomposition reaction D. 2H20⇒ 2H2 + O2
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
Every chemical reaction involves a compound consisting of reactants and products
Reactants are compounds that react and form new compounds called products
There are several forms of reactions that can occur, including single replacement, double replacement, synthesis, decomposition, etc.
A. 2C2H6 + 702 ⇒ 4CO2 + 6H20
Combustion : reaction of Hydrocarbon and Oxygen
B. AgNO3 + LiCl → AgCl + LINO3
Double replacement : there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product
C. Ca + MgS → CaS + Mg
Single replacement :one element replaces the other elements of a compound to produce new elements and compounds
D. 2H20⇒ 2H2 + O2
Decomposition : One compound breaks down into 2 components
beryllium, magnesium, strontium,barium<span>, and </span><span>radium. </span>
