Question

Why are cations attached towards the cathod?

Answer 1

Hi there!
Here's the answer:

•°•°•°•°•°<><><<><>><><>°•°•°•°•°

• A Cation is a positively charged particle
• It gets attracted towards negative electrode.
• Cathode is Negative Electrode
• Due to Electrostatic force, Cation gets attracted towards Cathode.

In case of Electrolysis,
Cathode is the Electrode on which reduction occurs

When the cell (galvanic cell) works, an external current source provides an excess of electrons (negatively charged) at one of the electrode(cathode) , where metal is reduced.

At Cathode, there will be gain of Electrons and thus reduction of metal takes place.

Heya mate., here's your answer ....

Hope you know the simple principle that
'Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other "
Remember it..... right✔

Now my dear, cations are positively charged ions and cathode are electrodes having an abundance of negative charge.
After electrolytic dissociation, electrolyte dissociate into positively charged cations and negatively charged anions and then......

.... Well for rest of the part apply your grey cells and the above principle and get your result.....

Inspite of that don't feel shy to clear your doubts......
If this helps, please rate it as brainliest.....
Keep asking.....
Thank you
