In a galvanic (voltaic) cell, oxidation occurs at:
AWire
BSalt bridge
CAnode (negative electrode)
DCathode
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Anode (negative electrode)
In a galvanic cell, anode is where oxidation occurs (loss of electrons), and it is the NEGATIVE terminal. Cathode is positive, where reduction occurs. Mnemonic: 'AN OX' (Anode OXidation) and 'RED CAT' (REDuction CAThode).
