Ni(s)
In an electrolytic cell with nickel and copper electrodes, nickel at the anode gets oxidized, losing electrons to form nickel ions. The copper electrode at the cathode gains electrons and gets reduced, forming copper metal. This process allows for the transfer of nickel ions from the anode to the cathode.

In a nickel and copper electrolytic cell, nickel would likely be the anode since it typically undergoes oxidation to release electrons into the external circuit. Copper, on the other hand, would be the cathode where reduction reactions occur.
