What is an electrode?
Electrodes are conductors by which electrons flow through to generate a current. There are two types of electrodes, cathodes, and anodes. The cathode attracts the positively charged cations while the anode attracts negatively charged anions. Electrodes are commonly made of metals such as platinum and zinc.
An electrode is a point where current enters and leaves the electrolyte. Electrodes are vital components of electrochemical cells. They transport produced electrons from one half-cell to another, which produce an electrical charge
An electrolytic cell has three component parts: an electrolyte and two electrodes (a cathode and an anode). The electrolyte is usually a solution of water or other solvents in which ions are dissolved. Molten salts such as sodium chloride are also electrolytes.
