Question

difference between cathode and anode

Answer 1

⚫ Anode

♦ The electrode connected to the positive terminal of the battery.

♦ Current enters the electrolyte through the anode.

♦ Anions migrate and discharge at the anode.

⚫ Cathode

♦ The electrode connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

♦ The battery current leave the electrolyte through the cathode.

♦ Cations migrate and discharge at the cathode

Answer 2

Cathode

Cathode is the negative terminal of the electrode.

Cations are deposited at the cathode.

Cathode is the electrode where metals are deposited.

Anode

Anode is the positive terminal of the electrode.

Anions are deposited at the anode .

Anode is the electrode where non-metals are deposited.
