Electrolyzability

/ɪˌlɛktrəlaɪzəˈbɪlɪti/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being able to be broken down by electric current.

Etymology

From electrolyze + -able + -ity. Built from the verb electrolyze (to decompose with electricity) plus suffixes that create an abstract noun describing the capability.

Kelly Says

Some substances resist electrolysis entirely—their electrolyzability is zero—but water's remarkable electrolyzability makes it invaluable for producing hydrogen fuel.
