Learn what electrodes are, how they work, and why they are important in chemistry and other fields. Find out the difference between reactive and inert electrodes, and see some examples and applications of electrodes. Such as Metal–metal soluble salt electrode, Gas–ion electrode, Redox electrode, Metal–metal insoluble salt electrode, Calomel Electrode, and Amalgam electrode. Pokédex entry for #101 Electrode containing stats, moves learned, evolution chain, location and more! Electrodes The substances that are used to make electrical contact with non-metallic parts are known as electrodes. Electrodes are electrical conductors, their purpose is to carry electric current to the non-metallic part in an electrolyte, semiconductor or in vacuum. They are the main component of an electrochemical cell. Electrodes consist of two parts- an anode and a cathode. The anode is the negative part of the electrode, it is also known as reducing electrode, it releases electrons to ...
