AInformation about the cathode
BInformation about the anode
CInformation about the wire
DInformation about the bridge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Information about the anode
1. Cell notation is read from left to right in the order the electrons travel.
2. Electrons start at the anode, so the anode is written first, on the far left.
3. The anode solution follows, then a double line for the salt bridge.
4. The cathode solution and then the cathode itself close the notation on the right.
