Question

Electrons getting added to an element y:
1.y is getting oxidized or reduced
2.what charge will y migrate to during 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)

Answer 2

Hey
here's your answer !!

_____

Addition of electrons means reduction is taking place .
So , if electrons are added to y , y will get reduced .
So , y will acquire a negative charge on it .
There fore , during electrolysis , y will migrate to a positive charge or to the anode .
