What takes place at the cathode during electrolysis?
- Anions lose electrons
- Anions are oxidized
- Cations are oxidized
-
Cations are discharged.
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
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
