Redox electrode

Imagine you have two cups filled with juice, one with orange juice and the other with apple juice. These cups represent two electrodes. One electrode is called the "oxidation" electrode, which is like the orange juice cup, and the other electrode is called the "reduction" electrode, which is like the apple juice cup.

Now, let's say you want to mix the juices together. To do that, you need to use a straw or a spoon, which represents the connection between the two electrodes. This connection allows the juices to mix together and form a new drink.

In the same way, a redox electrode is a combination of two electrodes, one oxidation and one reduction, that are connected to each other. These electrodes help to measure the chemicals in a solution.

So, let's say you have a solution with a bunch of different chemicals in it. You can use a redox electrode to measure the amount of electrons that are being transferred between the chemicals. This helps scientists to understand how the different chemicals in the solution are interacting with each other.

Overall, a redox electrode is like a straw that connects two cups of juice together, but instead of juice, it helps scientists measure the chemicals in a solution.
