Detailed Solution

An anode is the electrode in an electrochemical or galvanic cell where oxidation occurs, transferring electrons to the other electrode as a result.
As a result, an anode is considered a negative electrode. Anode is typically written on the left side of a cell representation. The cathode is the positive terminal in an electrolytic cell, whereas the anode is the negative terminal in a galvanic cell.
The anode is the positive electrode in an electrolytic cell, and the cathode is the negative electrode; electrons enter through the cathode and exit through the anode.
The anode is the negative electrode in a galvanic cell, and the cathode is the positive electrode, and electrons flow from the anode to the cathode in the external circuit.
