because chloride ions being negatively charged have got a tendency to get attracted to positive ions( follows from coloumbs law) and since positive electrode contains positive ions so chloride free ions in solution gets attracted to the positive electrode....

Why are sodium ions attracted to the negative electrode?
Sodium's electron configuration means that there is just one electron in its outer shell, when becoming an Ion it is easier for it to "donate" this electron to the element it is forming a compound with. This means that the Sodium ion is no longer electrically balanced (it has lost a negatively charged electron) and becomes overall positively charged. Being positively charged it will of cause be attracted to the NEGATIVE electrode as oposite charges attract and similar charges repel.
What happens when a magnesium ion is attracted to to a chlorine ion?
They form an ionic compound.
Formula for ammonium perchlorate?
Ammonium Perchlorlate - NH4ClO4 The negative perchlorate ion (NH4+) is ionically attracted to the positive ammonium ion (ClO4-).
Which end of the water molecule is attracted to the sodium ion?
Since water is a slightly polar molecule (the hydrogen end being slightly positive and the oxygen ends being slightly negative) the positively charged sodium ion (Na+) will be attracted to the oxygen end of the water molecule.
What happens when sodium ions is attracted to a chlorine ion?
forms a covalent bond APEX:They form an ionic compound.
What are the Types of ion selective electrodes?
glass electrode, antimony electrode, the hydrogen electrode
What is glass electrode?
A glass electrode is made of a doped glass membrane and is an electrode which is ion-selective.

When the switch is closed which electrode will attract the sodium ion?
Negative electrode Cathode One on the right
Describe construction of glass electrode?
The glass electrode is made in such a way that it is only sensitive to the specific ion.
What makes ions attracted to the negative electrode?
positive ions
What is a positive ion called?
A positive ion is called a cation. It forms when an atom loses one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. Cations are attracted to anions, which are negative ions, due to their opposite charges.
What are lithium --ion batteries and how do they work?
Lithium ion batteries use lithium metallic oxide in its positive electrode (cathode) and carbon material in its negative electrode (anode). Lithium ions inside the battery transfer between the positive electrode and the negative electrode during charge or discharge. Ms.Helen Ren

What is it called when a negative ion is attracted to a positive ion?
magnetism
What happens if a positive ion is attracted to a negative ion?
