One atom M out of the metal is oxidized to form one cation M+
and giving off one free electron e- to the metal.

Metal Cation: Metal Cation: joining joining the metalthe metal
One cation M+ out of the electrolyte becomes one neutral atom M taking off one free electron from the metal.

Oxidation or reduction reactions at the electrode-electrolyte interface lead to a double-charge layer
Contact (Half Cell) Contact (Half Cell) PotentialPotential
•Depends on: • The metal, • Concentration of ions in solution and • Temperature.
• Half cell potential cannot be measured without a second electrode.
•The half cell potential of the standard hydrogen electrode has been arbitrarily set to zero.
