In a galvanic cell, in which direction do electrons flow in the external circuit?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. From anode to cathode
- Step 1: Electrons travel from the site of oxidation to the site of reduction.
Answer
From anode to cathode.
Why not the others: From cathode to anode, Through the salt bridge and They do not flow don't fit.
