Question

which of the following is true about cations?a. They are negatively charged and move toward an anodeb. They are negatively charged and move toward a cathodec. They are positively charged and move toward an anoded. They are positively charged and move toward an cathode.

Answer 1

ANSWER

They are positively charged and move toward an anode

Option C

EXPLANATION

In electrochemical reaction, cation are positively charged. Since they are positively charged, they move toward negatively charged anode

There are two types of reaction which are oxidation and reduction reaction. At oxidation, the positively charged cations move towards the negatively charged anode.

Recall, that like charges attract and unlike charges repel.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C
