Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a cell having electrodes of zinc and copper, the negative electrode is always the zinc electrode. This is because during the reaction, oxidation occurs at the zinc electrode, and electrons are released, making it the negative electrode. Reduction occurs at the copper electrode, where the electrons are accepted, making it the positive electrode.
