It arises from a(n) ________ of the electron cloud, with the creation of a very weak dipole.

silicon

Graphite, diamond, and ________ dioxide (SiO2) are examples of network solids.

Electrolytic Cells

________ ________ use electricity from an external source to produce a desired redox reaction.

electrolyte solution

The electrode at which oxidation is taking place is called the anode, and the ____ ____ in which it is immersed is called the anode compartment.

Crystalline solids

___ _____ display a very regular ordering of the particles in a three- dimensional structure called the crystal lattice.

Solid
