alleryIn a GALVANIC cell, the ANODE is:
AThe positive electrode where reduction occurs
BThe positive electrode where oxidation occurs
CThe negative electrode where oxidation occurs
DThe negative electrode where reduction occurs
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The negative electrode where oxidation occurs
In a galvanic cell, the anode is the NEGATIVE electrode where OXIDATION occurs (electrons released go to external circuit).
The cathode is the POSITIVE electrode where REDUCTION occurs.
**Mnemonic:** AN-OX (anode oxidation).
