In the Daniell cell, electrons flow externally from
A.Zn anode to Cu cathode
B.Cu cathode to Zn anode
C.Cu anode to Zn cathode
D.Zn cathode to Cu anode
Explanation
Core Concept
Zinc oxidizes (loses electrons) at the anode, and the released electrons travel the wire to the copper cathode, where Cu²⁺ is reduced.
Correct Answer
AZn anode to Cu cathode
