what about anions?


and in electrolytic cell anode is negative and cathode is positive ?am i right


and which other cell is there in which there is anode positive and cathode negative??

Cations +ve like Na+


Anions -ve like Cl-


For electrochemical cells remenber 1 thing only


LOAN- Left Oxidation Anode Negative.


This implies that Cathode is +ve in electrochemical cells.


In electrolytic, polarity is opposite( Anode is + and Cathode is -ve)

Cations are +ve e.g. Na+ , Cu2+


& anions are -ve. e.g. Cl- , O2-.


Cathode is -ve & anode is +ve.


i.e. at cathode,reduction takes place, whereas at anode, oxidation takes place.

In electrolytic anode is +


In electrochemical anode is -ve.


Read the NCERT Chemistry text book- Class 12 Chapter on electrochemistry.
