At the positive electrode electrons are removed from the solution. If chloride ions (Cl-) are present the will each lose and electron to form chlorine atoms, which then bond together to from Cl2 molecules, which is chlorine gas.
Chlorine is extremely toxic, which is why you shouldn't use table salt (sodium chloride) as an electrolyte.

Which element will have a noble gas configuration if it forms an ionic bond by accepting one electron from a sodium atom?
Chlorine (Cl)
What state of matter is chlorine?
Chlorine's state of matter is it's a gas.
Can electrolysis mean destruction of tissue by electrical current?
Yes, it can. What happens is sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are generated at the cathode (negative electrode), whereas hydrochloric acid and chlorine gas or oxygen or both are liberated at the anode (positive electrode).
What gas was produced at the positive electrode?
It was sodium Sulfate!
What gas forms at a positive lead?
When performing the electrolysis of water, oxygen gas forms bubbles at the positive lead.
Is chlorine metallic or nonmetallic?
no, chlorine is not metallic, but it can come in various forms, most commonly a yellowish gas.
What would chlorine look like with no other substances mixed into it?
Chlorine forms a pale, Yellow- Green gas in its pure state.
How could a sample gas be collected at the positive electrode when using electrolysis for copper?
Place an inverted test tube over the elctrode

What harmless substance forms from the reaction of sodium and chlorine gas?
Sodium Chloride which is table salt
What substance forms the reaction of hydrogen and chlorine gas?
The compound hydrogen chloride, with formula HCl.
Chlorine gas is a diatomic molecule Cl2. There are 6.00 mol of chlorine atoms in a sample of chlorine gas. How many moles of chlorine gas is this?
there are 6 molecules of chlorine gas
What Gas is metal?
The gas metal arc welding that is also called the metal inert gas. It is a welding process whereby the electric arc forms between the work piece metals and the consumable wire electrode.
Is chlorine gas a compound?
No. Chlorine gas is 100% chlorine and nothing else.
