Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that metal electrodes lose mass when metal atoms in the electrode oxidize and go into solution?

Yes. Evidence from multiple electrochemical and microscopic studies confirms that metal electrodes lose mass when metal atoms undergo oxidation and dissolve into solution.
