SUMMARY
The process of depositing metal particles in pure water using two electrodes of the same metal is known as "electrodeposition." This technique involves the application of an electric current to facilitate the reduction of metal ions, resulting in a suspension of metal particles in the water. The discussion highlights the distinction between traditional electrolysis of salts and the specific method of electrodeposition in pure water.
