Easy to argue with that. Electrons only "flow" in a conductor. A chemical
reaction is NOT a conductor. Electrons don't flow in a chemical reaction.
Well, you picture you quoted clearly says so. And apart from that, an
electrolyte IS an conductor, that is why it is called an electrolyte.
A chemical reaction is a chemical reaction.
Indeed, with movement of electrons, as in Redox reactions.
These particular chemical reactions just happen to change the metal
composition
in such a way as to change back and forth metals that store or release
electrons
up the plates and out the top and not along a circuit through the
electrolyte.
There is no "flow" in the traditional sense of the word between the
positive
and negative plates. No circuit. Where there is no circuit there is no
flow.
Ah, and where there is no brain, there is no sense in arguing......
I rest my case.
