where do electrons flow in a galvanic cell
Galvanic cell In addition, electrons flow through the external conductor, which is the primary application of the galvanic cell.
Anode In electrochemistry, the anode is where oxidation occurs and is the positive polarity contact in an electrolytic cell.[6] At the anode, anions (negative ions) are forced by the electrical potential to react chemically and give off electrons (oxidation) which then flow up and into the driving circuit. Mnemonics: LEO Red Cat (Loss of Electrons is Oxidation, Reduction occurs at the Cathode), or AnOx Red Cat (Anode Oxidation, Reduction Cathode), or OIL RIG (Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain of electrons), or Roman Catholic and Orthodox (Reduction – Cathode, anode – Oxidation), or LEO the lion says GER (Losing electrons is Oxidation, Gaining electrons is Reduction).
