Re: Cathode
The anode is the electrode where electricity moves into. The cathode is the electrode where electricity is given out or flows out.
Re: Cathode
Hello,
The cathode is the electrode that undergoes reduction (gaining electrons).The anode is the electrode that oxidizes (loses electrons). I remember it with the abbreviation "AN OX" (Anode Oxidation) to remind me that oxidation happens at the anode.

Re: Cathode
Cathodes will most likely be on the right of a galvanic cell, and can be identified with redox reactions since they are where electrons are being pulled to
Re: Cathode
The cathode acts as the electron acceptor and is where reduction half-reactions take place in a cell. The anode is the electron donor and is where oxidation half-reactions occur.

Re: Cathode
You can identify a cathode vs anode but seeing if there is acceptance or donors of electrons. Cathode accepts the electrons and anode donates the electrons.
