Question

What is electrode potential ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The tendency of an electrode or metal to lose or gain electrons when placed in its own ions is known as ELECTRODE POTENTIAL

It is of two types:

1)Oxidation potential

2)Reduction potential

(i) Oxidation potential:-the tendency of an electrode or metal to lose electrons in its own ions is called oxidation potential

(ii) Reduction potential:-the tendency of an electron or metal to gain electrons in its own ions is called as reduction potential

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\green{Answer}$

♦ Electrode potential is defined as the potential of a cell consisting of the electrode in question acting as a cathode and the standard hydrogen electrode acting as an anode.

♦ Reduction always takes place at the cathode, and oxidation at the anode.
