Question

During electrolysis the species migrate to cathode are : (A) cation (B) anion (C) both (a) and (b) (D) none of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

During electrolysis oppositely charged species move towards electrodes i.e., cation (+vely charged ion) move towards cathode (-vely charged electrode) and vice versa.
Oxidation takes place at anode (loss of

e^{-}

)
Reduction take place at cathode (gain of

e^{-}

)

both (a) and (b)

none of these

During electrolysis oppositely charged species move towards electrodes i.e., cation (+vely charged ion) move towards cathode (-vely charged electrode) and vice versa. Oxidation takes place at anode (loss of e−) Reduction take place at cathode (gain of e−)

During electrolysis oppositely charged species move towards electrodes i.e., cation (+vely charged ion) move towards cathode (-vely charged electrode) and vice versa.
Oxidation takes place at anode (loss of $e^{-}$ )
Reduction take place at cathode (gain of $e^{-}$ )
