Memorisation Techniques:Mnemonic for Electrochemistry-electrodes


  • An Ox, Red Cat
  • Anode- Oxidation, Reduction - Cathode
I always got confused whether oxidation occurs at anode or cathode. With the help of this mnemonic, I never had a problem. 

As you can see, the first sentence is much easier to remember and so if you remember that, you can memorize the sequence of Intermediate apes in Human Evolution.
Note: An Cat, Rex Ox is grammatically incorrect(An should be followed by vowel) so you'll notice when you get this wrong.
Imagining the animals helps too :D

Everyone uses mnemonics to help them memorize, if you would like to share one to help others, please do so  in the comments below.
