Question

Difference between cathode and anode​

Answer 1

#Anode

➡The anode of a device is the terminal where current flows in from outside.

➡In a galvanic cell, the anode is the electrode at which the oxidation reaction takes place or occurs.

➡Oxidation takes place at the anode and where electrons are lost, and

▶ reduction takes place at the cathode where the electrons are gained.

➡The anode is taken to be positive while the cathode is Now as negative.

#Cathode

➡A cathode is known as the electrode from which a conventional current leaves a polarized electrical device.

➡In a galvanic (voltaic) cell, the anode is considered negative(-) and the cathode is considered positive(+).

➡Electrons always flow from the anode to the cathode .

OR

▶ from the oxidation half cell to the reduction half cell.

➡The cathode of a device is the terminal where current flows out.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\red{Answer}$

CATHODE :

Cathode is negatively charged and attract cations towards it as cation is positively charged.

- It is used in electrolysis process.

- Cathode have more electrons.

ANODE :

Anode is positively charged and attract anion towards it as anion is negatively charged.

- Anode have less electrons.

- It is used in electrolysis process.
