When electric current is passed through the solution of fused Lead Bromide, it helps to separate the Lead and the Bromide ions.
Lead is separated due to the propensity of losing electrons while, the Bromide ions are negative charged because it is a halogen.
PbBr2-> Pb++ + 2Br
— Lead is discharged at the cathode and is used to obtain pure metal.

Since in this reaction Leadbromide breaks into two molecules, that is, Pb and Br. So it is a DECOMPOSITION reaction.
