At which electrode does oxidation occur in a voltaic cell?

Question

anode only

cathode only

*both anode and cathode

either anode or cathode, depending on the metal

Thank You.

Answer 1

No, By definition, oxidation occurs at the anode. Reduction, of course, must then occur at the cathode.

Answer 2

coz from anode the electorns flow to cathode to continue eletrolysis of water bt if copper plate is usedas anode then the electrolysis of water does not occur.........
