An electrode is an electric conductor, usually metals. A Cu electrode means copper electrode.
In a voltaic Zn-Cu cell, or battery, (a spontaneous reaction, so the voltage is always positive) it consists of two electrodes in which each of them is immersed in their designated electrolytic solution. When the spontaneous reaction occurs, electrons get attracted to the cathode and make it negatively charged. Meanwhile, electrons get farther from the anode, making it positively charged.
cathode=positive
anode=negative
how do you identify which is anode/cathode?
Zn2+ + 2e- --> Zn(s) // V=-0.76
Cu2+ + 2e- --> Cu(s) // V=+0.34
A cathode is the electrode with which the reduction, or gaining of electrons, takes place. Whichever has the higher potential to gain electrons will serve as a cathode. The more positively charged an atom is, then the more it is likely to attract electrons.
In this case, the cathode is the copper.
Anode is the opposite of cathode.

Why does hydrogen gas liberate at Cu electrode in Zn-Cu cell?
In a zinc-copper cell, zinc gives up electrons, forming the negative terminal of the cell, and the electrons flows as electric current through wires. When the electrons reach the other positive terminal, electrolysis of the electrolyte takes place at the positive terminal. Hydrogen ions and the cation of the electrolyte will be attracted to the positive Copper electrode. The hydrogen ions, being less reactive than the cation ions, will take up the electrons on the copper electrode, forming hydrogen gas.
Difference between reference electrode and indicator electrode?
Often electrochemical studies are interested in one of the electrodes of the cell only. The second electrode is present to complete the cell. Electrode of interest is named working electrode or the indicator electrode; the second electrode is know as reference electrode or auxiliary electrode (counter electrode).
What are the Types of ion selective electrodes?
glass electrode, antimony electrode, the hydrogen electrode
What type of electrodes use in pH meter?
Examples: glass electrode, combined electrode, platinum electrode
What type of electrodes are used in potentiometric titration?
Potentiometric titration is a method to detect potential difference between the indicator electrode and reference electrode and thus determine concentration of chemical component, which reacts with reagent added to a solution potentially in equilibrium at the beginning.The popularly used reference electrode is either silver-silver chloride or mercury sulfate electrode, and the indicator electrode is generally made of glass electrode, platinum electrode and silver electrode or ion selective electrode.
Why in conductivity cell pt electrode is used instead of cu electrode?
Since Pt is less chemically active, the treat of getting corroded is decreased.
Send you technical information of fontargen E 206 copper electrode?

Which electrode is polarisable electrode in Polarography?
The dropping mercury electrode
What is electrode potential-?
Electrode potential is the voltage that an electrode is at. This has to be measured versus a reference electrode
What level does electrode evolve?
Electrode doesnt evolve. Voltorb evolves into Electrode at level 30 Electrode doesnt evolve. Voltorb evolves into Electrode at level 30
Does electrode evolve?
No, Electrode does not evolve.
What is a sentence with electrode?
The electrode was placed in the Chemistry lab. This is the sentence that uses the word electrode.
What is the meaning consumable welding?
Consumable electrode welding contain the processes where the electrode acts as the filler material and the electrode that generates the arc. Because the electrode is also the filler material, the electrode 'burns' or is consumed, hence consumable electrode.
What are the Types of ion selective electrodes?
glass electrode, antimony electrode, the hydrogen electrode
Name of one electrode and say is positive or negative?
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode
