what's d difference between cathode  and anode ?

Difference between cathode and anode: 

Cathode: 

1. This metallic electrode connects to the negative terminal of battery, so it is negative electrode.

2. On this electrode removal of electrons takes place.

3. Positive ions get attracted towards this electrode.

Anode: 

1. This metallic electrode connects to the positive terminal of battery, so it is negative electrode.

2. On this electrode gaining of electron takes place.

3. Negative ions get attracted towards this electrode.

Anode is the positive terminal but Cathode is the negative terminal of the electrolytic cell.
