alleryIn a galvanic cell, the oxidation half-reaction takes place at the:
ACathode, which has positive potential
BBoth electrodes equally
CAnode, which has negative potential
DSalt bridge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Anode, which has negative potential
**Galvanic cell:** **anode = oxidation (negative terminal)**, **cathode = reduction (positive terminal)**.
Electrons flow from anode to cathode through the external circuit
current flows the opposite way.
