Detailed explanation-1: -Oxidation happens at the positive anode because this is where negative ions lose electrons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Galvanic Cells According to the mnemonic “Red Cat An Ox”, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. Since the reaction at the anode is the source of electrons for the current, the anode is the negative terminal for the galvanic cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Electrolytic cells use an electric current to drive a thermodynamically unfavored redox reaction. As in galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode.
Detailed explanation-4: -oxidation is the loss of electrons. reduction is the gain of electrons.
Detailed explanation-5: -In an electrochemical cell, reduction takes place at anode BECAUSE oxidation always takes place at the cathode.
