Question

Choose the incorrect statement from the following for a Galvanic cell.

• A. It involves redox reaction.
• B. Electrons flow from cathode to anode.
• C. Anode is negative and Cathode is positive.
• D. Oxidation occurs at anode.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Electrons flow from cathode to anode.

A Galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy through redox reaction. Anode is negative and cathode is positive in a Galvanic cell. The electron-flow occurs from negative (anode) to positive (cathode) electrode. It involves redox reaction, with oxidation at anode and reduction at cathode.
