This process is called fusion.

Explanation:
In electrolysis, a solution called the electrolyte is decomposed by the passage of direct current through it.
The points through which current enters and leaves the electrolyte are called electrodes. In electrolysis, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode.
In the electrolysis of water; at the anode oxygen is produced as follows;
4OH^-(aq) -----> 2H2O(l) + O2(g) + 4e
Answer: N (the Nitrogen)
Explanation:
Reduction refers to a decrease in oxidation number/state due to the gaining of electrons. As such the species that is being reduced will show a decrease in oxidation state.
Based on the redox rules,
Zn(s) has oxidation number of 0 [<em>rule 1: the oxidation number of an element in its free (uncombined) state is zero</em>]
Zn²⁺ has oxidation number of +2 [<em>rule 2: The oxidation number of a monatomic (one-atom) ion is the same as the charge on the ion</em>]
Now, since Nitrogen is enbedded in a polyatomic ion in both cases, you have to do a bit a calculation to obtain the oxidation state.
For NO₃⁻ : N + (-2 × 3) = -1
N - 6 = -1
N = 5
<em>[Rule 3: The sum of all oxidation numbers in a polyatomic (many-atom) ion is equal to the charge on the ion; Rule 6: The oxidation state of hydrogen in a compound is usually +1]</em>
<em />
For NH₄⁺ :
N + (4 x 1) = 1
N + 4 = 1
N = -3
[<em>Rule 3: The sum of all oxidation numbers in a polyatomic (many-atom) ion is equal to the charge on the ion; Rule 5: The oxidation number of oxygen in a compound is usually –2]</em>
Therefore, Zn moves from oxidation state of 0 to +2 (oxidation), while N moves from +5 to -3 (reduction).
The CH4 molecule has the lowest molecular weight, so it has the lowest boiling point.
Hope I helped :)
Put simply, generators convert kinetic energy, which is based on movement, into electric energy. However, there are a number of different ways that this kinetic energy can be achieved. Most commonly, this electrical generation is created by using electromagnetic induction and by harnessing mechanical energy that causes a generator to rotate. Therefore, one of a generator’s most principal operations is the creation of kinetic energy.
