What takes place at the cathode during electrolysis?
Anions lose electrons
Anions are oxidized
Cations are oxidized
Cations are discharged.
Explication
Cations are discharged at the cathode during electrolysis.
Electrolysis is the process of using an electric current to cause a chemical reaction to take place. The cathode is the negative electrode in an electrolytic cell. It is where cations (positively charged ions) are discharged
