Cells

  • A device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy is called an electric cell. To an electric circuit, the battery provides the constant electromotive force.
  • Each cell comprises 2 half cells which are connected in series by a conductive electrolyte containing anions and cations:
    • One-half cell is made up of electrolyte and a negative electrode called an anion.
    • The other half cell is made up of electrolytes and a positive electrode called a cathode.
  • Redox reactions take place simultaneously.
  • While charging, cations are reduced at the cathode, and anions are oxidized at the anode.
  • Electrodes do not join each other as they are electrically connected by the electrolyte.
