C. What is oxidized in the reaction? What is reduced? (2 points) d. In this simple electrochemical cell, what functions as the anode? What is
the cathode? (1000000)

Oxidation: a type of chemical reaction where one or more electrons are lost.

Oxidation State / Number: a number assigned to an atom describing its degree of oxidation, meaning how many electrons it has gained or lost.

Reduction: a type of chemical reaction where one or more electrons are gained.

Oxidation-Reduction Reaction: a chemical reaction where oxidation and reduction occurs simultaneously

Explanation:

Reduction always occurs at cathode

Oxidation always occurs in anode

These two process occurs in same way independent of nature of cell whether voltaic or electrolytic.

a electronegativity decreases beacuse the size of nucleus is bigger.
