In corrosion, there has to be 3 essential ingredients, the anode, cathode, and electrolyte.
The anode def is:Anode: One of the two dissimilar metal electrodes in an electrolytic cell, represented as the negative terminal of the cell. Electrons are released at the anode, which is the more reactive metal.
Electrons are insoluble in aqueous solutions and they only move, through the wire connection into the cathode. An anode is positive and the cathode is negative.
The cathode def is: One of the two electrodes in an electrolytic cell represented as a positive terminal of a cell. Reduction takes place at the cathode and electrons are consumed.
The electrolyte def is: It is the electrically conductive solution that must be present for corrosion to occur.
