6 What are the electrode products when molten silver iodide is electrolysed between inert
electrodes?
The anode is the electrode where electricity
moves into. The cathode is the electrode
where electricity is given out or flows out.
The anode is usually the positive side. A
cathode is a negative side. It acts as an
electron donor.
