Question

difference between cathode and anode

Answer 1

Anode and cathode are two terms that are often used interchangeably with positive and negative in batteries. The anode, by definition, is the electrode where electricity flows into. In contrast, the cathode is the electrode where the electricity flows out of. Cathode is negatively charged electrode. Cathode attracts positive charge or cation. Cathode is source of electron or electron donor.It may accept positive charge. Anode is positively charged electrode,

Answer 2

Cathode is an electrode that attracts cations(positively charged ions).

Anode is an electrode that attracts an ions (negatively charged ions)

Anions- negatively charged ions.
Anode - electrode having ability to attract negative charge.
Cations- positively charged ions.
Cathode- electrode having ability to attract positive charges.
