How do electrons flow in a voltaic cell?

Question:

In a voltaic cell, the ____________ electrons and is oxidized, while the ___________ electrons and is reduced.

Answers:

1. anode loses

2. cathodes gains

Explanation:

Oxidation - what happens when a reactant loses electrons.

Reduction - occurs when a reactant gains electrons.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
