what is electrode potential ?

Answer:-
When a strip of metal(electrode) is brought in contact with the solution containing its own ions then the strip of metal gets positively charged or negatively charged and results into a potential being developed between the metallic strip and it's solution which is known as electrode potential.
If at any electrode oxidation occur then it is called oxidation potential.simillarly if at any electrode reduction occur then it is called reduction potential.
Look at the oxidation potential of zinc electrode,simillarly same things occur in case of reduction potential.
