The electrode that acts as a source of electrons to the solution is called the

cathode and the chemical change which occurs in the electrode is

reduction.

The cathode is the positive electrode found in electrochemical cells and it

accepts negatively charged ions. The cathode donates electrons which is

why reduction always takes place in it.

The electrons generated and donated from the cathode are then passed to

the anode (negative electrode) which gets oxidized and we can infer that

oxidation takes place in the electrode.
