Re: Oxidation
Also since oxidation means loss of electrons, oxidation occurs in the anode side of the cell because it is the supplier of electrons (e-) to the other side of the cell.

Re: Oxidation
A good way to remember this is to associate the anode side with being your negative end of a battery wherein its charge comes from electrons, which are negatively charged.

Re: Oxidation
You can also use "an ox" and "red cat" to help you remember that an anode is oxidized and a cathode is reduced.
