In Electrochemical Cell Positive Ions are migrated towards:
Correct answer: B. Cathode
- A. Anode
- B. Cathode
- C. Toward the bottom of the cell
- D. Towards the walls of the cell
Explanation
In an electrochemical cell, positive ions are migrated towards the cathode. The cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs, meaning it is the site where electrons are gained. Positive ions are attracted to the cathode because they are seeking electrons to neutralize their positive charge.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
