Question

9. Why is anode called oxidation electrode, whereas cathode is called reduction electrode? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the anode can accept electrons, oxidation occurs at that electrode. The cathode is an electron donor and can cause reduction to occur. ... Hence this electrode is in effect a reducing agent. In any electrochemical cell (electrolytic or galvanic) the electrode at which reduction occurs is called the cathode
