In a zinc-copper cell, the zinc electrode is negative. This is because zinc undergoes oxidation, losing electrons to form Zn²⁺ ions, while the copper electrode undergoes reduction, gaining electrons to form metallic copper from Cu²⁺ ions. The flow of electrons from the zinc electrode to the copper electrode establishes the negative charge at the zinc electrode.
