Iâd highly recommend going to a Lumineers concert. Some seriously amazing band members who are very real, truthful, and down to earth. Not to mention, their music has the most balanced mix of instruments and lyrics that make you want to pay attention to every word.
Each half of the electrochemical cell has an electrode to which the wire for our external circuit is connected. The chemistry takes place at the surface of this electrode. The electrode on the oxidation side is called the anode. The electrode on the reduction side is called the cathode. As a short hand, we simply refer to the two sides of the cell as the anode side and the cathode side.
1 The electrons that have been lost in the oxidation reaction travel through the external circuit to the reduction reaction, where they reduce the oxidising agent. 2  The two parts of the electrochemical cell are called half-cells.
