Why would you classify hydrogen as a nonmetal 2017?
2 answers:
It is mainly because we have chemical compounds named Hydrides - compounds which consists of metal ions and hydrogen ion 
. So, hydrogen ion is used to "take" electron more than "give" it, as we also can see in organic compounds. Third reason is that its standard electrode potential is further higher than metals' potentials, which obviously makes it nonmetal.

Answer: a. Cathode
b. Galvanic cell
c. Anode
d. Electrolytic cell
e. half reaction
Explanation:
Galvanic cell or Electrochemical cell is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produced in a spontaneous redox reaction into the electrical energy.
Electrolytic cell is a device where electrical energy is used to drive a non spontaneous chemical reaction.
In the electrochemical cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode. Thus the electrons are produced at anode and travel towards cathode.
The balanced two-half reactions will be:
Oxidation half reaction :
Reduction half reaction :
Thus the overall reaction will be:
