GoOD MorNing ...!!

The ions must be free to move, which is possible when an ionic substance is dissolved in water or it is melted. ... Negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode during electrolysis. They lose electrons and are oxidised . The substance that is broken down is called the electrolyte...

During electrolysis, the electrolytes have to undergo simultaneous chemical changes. The ions which are present in electrolytes participates in current flow. The flow of current is due to ions in case of electrolytes. Cations move towards the cathode and anions move towards the anode and consequently electrolyte solution conducts electricity. On reaching the cathode, the cations accept electron and are liberated at the electrode in the form of atoms or molecules. Similarly, anions are neutralised on reaching anodes by donating electrons and are liberated as atoms or molecules. Oxidation takes place at the anode and at the cathode, reduction takes place.
