Question

State whether the following statement is True or False.

Hydrogen gas and metals are liberated at the anode.

Answer 1

This statement is false.

Explanation:

Hydrogen ions (H⁺) and metal ions (like Na⁺, Cu²⁺) are positively charged cations. They move towards the negative electrode (Cathode) to gain electrons and get liberated there, not at the anode.
