Period 5

The first battery was invented by Alessandro Volta. He created it by sticking together layers of zinc, silver, and wet paper. Volta placed copper wire at each end and allowed a current to flow.

 The first battery was an electrochemical cell.  Chemical reactions occur between electrolytes and electrodes in an electrochemical cell.  In an electrochemical cell, zinc and aluminum release more electrons.  Chemical energy is stored in chemical compounds.

 Batteries are made by combining two or more electrochemical cells.  A wet cell battery is surrounded by a liquid and they tend to be bigger.  A dry cell battery is surrounded by paste and are more commonly used.  Some kinds of batteries can be recharged by reversing the flow of electrons.
