What is electrode potential ? Give its types.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electrical potential difference between the metal and its solution is known as electrode potential. It is of two types :
(i) Oxidation potential : The tendency of an electrode to lose electrons is called oxidation potential.
(ii) Reduction potential : The tendency of an electrode to gain electrons is called reduction potential.
