The purpose for the "inert electrode" is quite obvious and also, it's spelled in it's name it's self. The purpose for this would be the first, "conduct electrons". This would be the purpose of this inert electrode, to conduct that electrons at the give time.

<span>A.to create a solution of anions
B. to create a solution of cations
C.to conduct electrons
D. to conduct protons</span>

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An inert electrode is defined as an electrode that releases electrons or which serves as a sink for electrons. An inert electrode does not participate chemically in the electrode reaction.

For example, in a voltaic cell anode is negatively charged and cathode is positively charged. So, electrons release from the anode and they get deposited on the cathode.

This leads to generation of electric current.

Therefore, we can conclude that the purpose of the inert electrode is to conduct electrons.

<span>Group 1 can be characterized as atoms that have 1 electron in their valence shell. This is valuable when dealing with these questions, because the loss or gain of valence electrons is what defines ionic relationships. When group 1 elements form ionic bonds with other atoms, they are extremely likely to lose their valence electron, since the nucleus has a weaker pull on it than, say, a chlorine atom has on its 7 valence electrons. The weaker pull between the nucleus and the valence electron of group 1 elements means that the radius is high, since the electron is more free to move with less pull on it. This also means that the first ionization energy is low, since it takes relatively little energy for that electron to be pulled away to another atom.</span>
