Question
Electrons are getting added to an element Y:
which electrode will Y migrate to during the process of electrolysis?
Advertisements
Solution
The addition of electrons means the reduction is taking place. So, if electrons are added to Y, it will get reduced.
So, Y will acquire a negative charge on it.
Therefore, during electrolysis, Y will migrate to a positive charge or to the anode.

Identify the incorrect statement and correct them.
- Like covalent compounds, coordinate compounds also contain charged particles (ions). So they are good conductors of electricity.
- Ionic bond is a weak bond when compared to Hydrogen bond.
- Ionic or electrovalent bonds are formed by mutual sharing of electrons between atoms.
- Loss of electrons is called Oxidation and gain of electron is called Reduction.
- The electrons which are not involved in bonding are called valence electrons.
