Answer 1

Answer: The positively charged ions will be attracted to the negative electrode and gain electrons. Meanwhile, the negatively charged ions will be attracted to the positive electrode and release electrons.

Explanation:

Electrolysis is breaking down of a substance into its constituents by the action of electrical current.  

$LiCl\rightarrow Li^++Cl^-$

Cations wich are positively charged specie moves towards the negatively charged electrode that is towards the cathode. On reaching cathode, cations accepts electrons and get reduced through reduction reaction.

$Li^++e^-\rightarrow Li$

Anions wich are negatively charged specie moves towards the positively charged electrode that is towards the anode. On reaching anode, anions donate electrons and get oxidized through oxidation reaction.

$Cl^-\rightarrow Cl+e^-$
