Question

why do cations move towards cathode and anions move towards anode?

what is the ratiobetween hydrogen and oxygen from water by volume

Answer 1

Hey !
Here is your answer !!
_________________

Ans▶▶ Cations are positively charged ions

▶▶ anode are negatively charged ion

▶▶Cathode is negatively charged electrode

▶▶ anode is positively charged electrode.

▶▶We know unlike charges attract.

▶▶So, cations being positively charged move towards the negative electrode that is cathode

▶▶anions being negatively charged move toward the positive electrode that is anode.
