In a galvanic cell, the half-cell in which oxidation takes place is called ______ and it has a negative potential with respect to the solution. |
Cathode diode triode anode |
anode |
The correct answer is option 4. anode. In a galvanic cell, the half-cell in which oxidation takes place is called the Anode. In a galvanic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode. Electrons are released from the oxidation reaction, resulting in a buildup of negative charge at the anode. Therefore, the anode has a negative potential with respect to the solution in the cell. |
