Which of the following is NOT a correct feature of electrolytic cells?
Correct answer: C. Alternating current source is connected to electrodes
- A. Reduction occurs at cathode
- B. Oxidation occurs at anode
- C. Alternating current source is connected to electrodes
- D. Electrochemical reaction takes place
Explanation
This is an Incorrect feature of an electrolytic cell because electrolytic cells use direct current (DC), not alternating current (AC).

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.
