Question

Which of these is correctly associated with the cathode?
I. Electrode  with a positive charge
II. Electrode at which a substance loses electrons
III. Electrode at which reduction occurs
A) I only
B) II only
C) I and II
D) I and III
E) I, II, and III

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cathode is an electrode with a negative charge (not positive), and it is the electrode at which reduction occurs (not oxidation or electron loss). Therefore, options I and III are correctly associated with the cathode. Option II is associated with the anode, where oxidation occurs and substances lose electrons, but not with the cathode.
