Answer:
A redox reaction always consists of oxidation and reduction. In the cell, the electrode potential develops due to oxidation at anode and reduction at cathode. Therefore, it is not possible to measure the potential of an isolated half cell.

Answer:
It is due to the fact that neither by itself the oxidation occurs nor the reduction occurs . • Experimentally, the absolute value of single electrode can't be determined, because independently half-cell reaction cannot occur. • It is only possible to determine the difference between the electrode potentials of any two half-cell reactions.
