Question

WHAT ARE THE TYPE OF ELECTRIC CELLS​

Answer 1

• There are two fundamental types of electrochemical cell: galvanic and electrolytic. Galvanic cells convert chemical potential energy into electrical energy. The energy conversion is achieved by spontaneous (ΔG < 0) redox reactions producing a flow of electrons.

Answer 2

There are two fundamental types of electrochemical cell: galvanic and electrolytic. Galvanic cells convert chemical potential energy into electrical energy. ... Electrolytic cells are driven by an external source of electrical energy. A flow of electrons drives non-spontaneous (ΔG ≥ 0) redox reactions.
