Question

Why is a wire used to connect the electrodes in an electrochemical cell?

O A. To provide the metal that is the oxidizing agent
B. To prevent the flow of protons from electrodes
C. So ions can flow from one electrode to another
D. So electrons can flow from one electrode to another

Answer 1

D. So electrons can flow from one electrode to another

Step-by-step explanation:

An electrochemical cell is any cell in which electricity is produced by reason of a chemical change.

An electrochemical cell consists of two electrodes, these two electrodes are connected using a wire.

Usually, electrons flow from one electrode to another via this wire thereby enabling the electrochemical processes of oxidation and reduction in the cell to proceed effectively.
