Question

Hello! Mate.

GM.

=========

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

In general, the anode is the electrode that positive current flows INTO from the outside, and the cathode is the electrode that it flows FROM (to the outside). Electrons, of course, flow the opposite way. In electrochemistry, the anode is where oxidation occurs and cathode is where reduction occurs ("an ox red cat").
