In an electrochemical reaction- negatively charged anions move towards positively charged cathode where reduction will take place whereas positively charged cations move towards negatively charged anode where oxidation will take place- Therefore- both assertion and reason are incorrect-

In an electrochemical reaction, negatively charged anions move towards positively charged cathode where reduction will take place whereas positively charged cations move towards negatively charged anode where oxidation will take place. Therefore, both assertion and reason are incorrect.
