Answer:
B. oxidation; reduction
Explanation:
A voltaic cell is electro-chemical cell in which chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
1. This cell utilizes chemical reaction to generate electric.\
2. there two electrode anode and cathode
3. At Anode oxidation occurs
4. At cathode reduction occurs
5. chemical is present in the cell which is electrolyte which completes the circuit of the voltaic cell.
- oxidation is the process in which there is loss of electrons
- Reduction is the process in which there is gain of electrons
___________________________________________________
Based on above discussion
At anode oxidation takes place
At cathode reduction takes place.
Hence, correct option is B. oxidation; reduction
Answer:
The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:
Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.
These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.
In Thomson's experiment, he showed that an electrical current can be made to flow from a positive site to a negative site.
