Question

select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
in a galvanic cell, electrons are transferred from one half cell to the other as the redox reaction progresses.
what happens in each half cell?
the half cell in which the electrode gains electrons is where ▼ occurs, and the half cell in which the electrode loses electrons is where ▼ occurs.
options: oxidation, precipitation, reduction

Explanation:

In redox chemistry, reduction is the process where a species gains electrons (oxidation state decreases), and oxidation is where a species loses electrons (oxidation state increases). So in a galvanic cell, the half - cell with electrode gaining electrons undergoes reduction, and the one with electrode losing electrons undergoes oxidation.

Answer:

First drop - down: reduction
Second drop - down: oxidation
