Difference between electrochemical & electrolytic cell

Answer:-
ELECTROCHEMICAL          ELECTROLYTIC
          CELL                                    CELL
• Chemical energy          • Electrical energy
converted into elec-       converted into c-
-trical energy.                   -hemical energy.
• Chemical reaction      • Chemical reactio
is spontaneous.              -n is non-spontan-
                                          eous.
• Anode is negative.      • Anode is positive
and cathode is               and cathode is
positive.                          negative.
• Electrons move           • Electrons enter
from anode to                the cell through
cathode in the                cathode to anode.
external circuit.
