Question

How does electrochemical series affect electrolysis?

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\purple{Answer}$

At the positive electrode (anode), negatively charged ions lose electrons. This is oxidation, and you say that the ions have been oxidized. Metal ions and hydrogen ions are positively charged. Whether you get the metal or hydrogen during electrolysis depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series.
