In a galvanic (voltaic) cell:

A.The cell potential is always negative

B.Oxidation occurs at the cathode

C.Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode

D.Reduction occurs at the anode

Explanation

Core Concept

In a galvanic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode (producing electrons) and reduction occurs at the cathode (consuming electrons). Electrons flow from anode to cathode through the external circuit.
