Question

give the name of active and inactive electrode???

Answer 1

ACTIVE ELECTRODE   is an electrode which can readily undergo oxidaton and reduction. Ex- Copper and zinc electrodes are examples of active elctrodes.

INACTIVE ELECTRODES    are those electrodes which are used for carrying out an electrolytic reaction of a gas which cannot be  made an electrode, so some inert metals are used as electrode.    Ex of inactive electrode is Platinum(Pt) which is used for caryying out electrolysis for Hydrogen (SHE eletrolysis).
