katódos
Katódos is a term that refers to the negative electrode in an electrochemical cell or electronic device. In electrolysis, the cathode is the site where reduction occurs, meaning it attracts positively charged ions (cations) from the electrolyte, and these ions gain electrons. In a galvanic cell, such as a battery, the cathode is where the positive terminal is located, and it is where the reduction reaction takes place.
The term "cathode" originates from the Greek words "kata" (down) and "hodos" (way), signifying the path of
