Can one explain the difference between oxide and corrosion?  I thought they were the same.

Sure, they are the same BUT in the context of the cell, that redox cannot continue, it must be only in the beginning. Simple.



Now, you answer me, please? Can we have one plate oxidizing and the other not while ions are flowing in the electrolyte?

Fausto.

Lol plengo maybe you know more than I thought you know.what electrode material are you using in your latest if I may ask or is it a secret.  @ tesla oxide formation is corrosion.wether the corrosion halts at the first nanometers of oxide layer or cracks further though and cakes the whole mass is strictly determined by the chemistry of electrodes and electrolyte ie: aluminum is extremely reactive and will slowly cake allll way through.iron is less reactive and will corrode only a few nanometer then abrubtly halt,in alkali.in neutral ph iron will cake all way through,or up to a point(depends on how well sealed container is)

Thanks!  That is beyond me.

no, not a secret. It is some form (for now - testing, testing, testing) of galvanized metal, mixture of Zinc and carbon and many things including Molibidenio (very hard material).


Aluminum is great for testing, as you said, it will continue corroding. Once a friend, expert in chemistry, brought to my house a container of pure aluminum and then he touch it with an element and voilá, the aluminum started to grow intensively like a tree, it was fast and beautiful. I wish to know what was the other element (may be mercury?).


That day I realized that rocks and metals are not that solid as one would think and they are very "driely" reactive. Imagine a controlled reaction like that in a crystal cell BUT really controlled?


Fausto.
