in a volatic cell what type of ions move towards the cathode?

Answer 1

Cations. The one thing to remember is that oxidation occurs at the anode, whether in an electrolytic or voltaic cell. So M gets oxidized to M+ at the anode. Then M+ cations must move toward the cathode.

Answer 2

Positive ions. Here is a pneumonic device I use to remember it. Think of
ca+hode where the t is a plus sign and
aNode where the N stands for the neg ion

Answer 3

cations. the cathode has a negative charge and the cation has a positive charge so they will attract each other (unlike charges attract).
