Two notable things occur during a cathodic reaction. 1.) A given species undergoes reduction (there is a decrease in its oxidation number)
2.) A gain of electrons at the cathodic site (electrons are consumed by the reaction)
An example of a cathodic reaction is:
2H+(aq) + 2e- ==> H2(g)
This reaction however is just a half-cell reaction, which means it is usually coupled (happens along with) an anodic reaction.

The cathodic rays beam was deflected by the atomic nucleus.
In anodic system, small amounts of the metal migrates into the coating film limiting it's usefulness in corrosion protection. Anodic coatings are used in less severe environments and are generally economical and produce a nice surface finish. Cathodic systems produce an coating free of metal migration and are much more robust. These systems are useful in heavy corrosive environments.
Formation reaction.
A reaction in which a negative ion (nucleophile) attacks on a partially positive carbon atom then reaction is known as nucleophilic reaction, it may be substitution reaction or addition reaction.
During electrolysis a cation moves towards cathode where it accepts the electrons and becomes reduced. M+ + e- ------> M
Iron corroding is basically Fe -----> Fen+ + n e- . This is the anodic reaction. However, due to the law of conservation of charge there needs to be a balancing cathodic reaction to consume the electrons produced. In neutral solutions this is: 2H2O + O2 + 4 e- ------> 4OH- . So if the iron is kept dry there is no balancing cathodic reaction and rusting or corrosion is slowed down vastly or stopped.
Cathodic protection is a way of preventing or controlling corrosion of a metal structure.
Anodic
Of or to do with a cathode.
Cathodic protection is used to control corrosion of metal on the surface of structures in various environments. In some cases Cathodic protection can prevent stress corrosion and fracturing.
The KKS system is a standardized system for the classification of technical equipment in power plants. It does not specifically address cathodic protection systems. Cathodic protection systems are typically classified based on their method (e.g., impressed current or sacrificial anode) and location within the power plant.
