Question

Difference between anode, cathode and anion, cation

Answer 1

Answer:

The anode is the electrode where electricity moves into. The cathode is the electrode where electricity is given out or flows out of. The anode is usually the positive side. A cathode is a negative side. ... In an electrolytic cell, a reduction reaction takes place at the cathode.

The anode is usually the positive side: A cathode is a negative side

It acts as an electron donor: It acts as an electron acceptor

An anion is an ion that has gained one or more electrons, acquiring a negative charge. A cation is an ion that has lost one or more electrons, gaining a positive charge.

Answer 2

An anode is an electrode where the electricity moves into. A cathode is a negative sided electrode. An anode is a positive sided electrode. The cathode acts as an electron acceptor.

An ion or a charged particle which has a positive charge is called cation. An ion or a charged particle which has a negative charge is called anion.
