Does the cathode always attain a positive charge or is it just a convention?
Being a cathode or anode is not directly related to the charge or potential of the electrode, but to direction of the electron transfer in closed circuits. (or the direction that would occur if the ...

Why can we see color during d-d transition of electron?
There are multiple levels [actually, an infinite number, merging into a continuum] to which an electron can be raised in an atom. For example, see the Lyman series of levels in just a simple hydrogen ...

Why do we only use the principal quantum number to calculate the energy of an electron in an H atom?
In the hydrogen atom, the energy of an electron depends only on the principal quantum number. But this is only true for the hydrogen atom. For all heavier atoms, the energy of an electron depends also ...

Correct Interpretation of Apparent Charge Transfer Coefficients
I do not know all the details on exactly how the reaction is run so I am assuming that you start from a clean inert electrode (or a pure Li electrode) with Li+ and N2 dissolved in the electrolyte.
The ...
