The tendency of an electrode to lose electrons is known as

Answer»

Electrode potential
REDUCTION potential
Oxidation potential
E.M.F.

Solution :The magnitude of the electrode potential of a metal is a measure of its relative TENDENCY toloose or GAIN electrons. i.e., it is a measure of the relative tendency to undergo oxidation (LOSS of electrons) or reduction (gain of electrons).
`MtoM^(n+)+n e^(-)` (oxidation potential)
`M^(n+)+n e^(-)toM` (reduction potential).
