Question

. Electrons are getting added to the element y. [4] i. Is y getting oxidized or reduced? Ii. What charge will y have after the addition of electrons? Iii. Which electrode will y migrate to during the process of electrolysis?

Answer 1

1)Reduction

2)The question is not proper..if y has already acquired electrons,then it would move towards the anode..if it acquired electrons during electrolysis,then it would move towards cathode..(positive ion moves towards the cathode which is a negatively charged electrode, and vice versa)
