Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Question 279
When electric current is passed through a cell having an electrolyte, the positive ions move towards the anode and the negative ions towards the cathode. If the cathode is pulled out of the solution [AIIMS 1980]
Options:
A) The positive and negative ions will move towards the cathode
B) The positive ions will start moving towards the anode, the negative ions will move towards the cathode
C) The negative ions will continue to move towards the anode and the positive ions will move towards the cathode
D) The positive and negative ions will start moving randomly
Show Answer
