How do reactive electrodes differ from inert electrodes in electrolysis?

Options

  1. AReactive electrodes are less conductive.
  2. BReactive electrodes do not participate in chemical reactions.
  3. CReactive electrodes slow down the electrolysis process.
  4. DReactive electrodes participate in the electrode reaction.

Correct answer

D. Reactive electrodes participate in the electrode reaction.

Step-by-step solution

Reactive electrodes participate in the electrode reaction, as mentioned in the paragraph, whereas inert electrodes do not.
