Question

The number of electrons gained by the anode is equal to the number of electrons given by the
(a) electrode
(b) anode
(c) cathode
(d) none of the above​

Answer 1

Answer Is Cathode, As Anode Is Negative Terminal And Cathode Is Positive Terminal And Both Of Them Lose And Gain Same Number Of Protons And Electrons.

Answer 2

Answer: cathode

Explanation:

lets take one example -

suppose molten Nacl breaks up into Na+ and Cl-

The Na+ ion goes to negative cathode to discharge (become neutral). the neg cathode  will donate some of its excess electron to Na+(reduction)

(Na+  +   e= Na)

The Cl- ion goes to + anion there it has to lose electron to become neutral, there it will give up its electron (oxidation ) to the positive anode. Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode.(from electrolytes perspective not electrodes perspective.)
