Ions are released at the anode during oxidation, and they move towards the cathode through the electrolyte. At the cathode, the ions gain electrons and are reduced. This process results in the transfer of ions between the cathode and anode.
Cathode, as the fork attracts silver cations (+ ions)
In the electrolysis of brine (saltwater), at the anode, chloride ions (Cl⁻) are oxidized to form chlorine gas (Cl₂). At the cathode, water molecules are reduced to produce hydrogen gas (H₂) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻). This process results in the formation of chlorine gas at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode, with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) remaining in the solution.
In the electrolytic cell, electrons flow from the negative terminal (cathode) to the positive terminal (anode). This flow allows for the oxidation of ions at the anode and the reduction of ions at the cathode, resulting in the desired chemical reactions to occur.
If the anode and cathode of a battery touch, it creates a short circuit. This can lead to a rapid discharge of energy from the battery, potentially causing it to overheat, leak, or even explode. It is important to keep the anode and cathode separated to ensure safe operation of the battery.
Metals ions form solid metal
Pure lead on the cathode and oxygen at the anode.
During the electrolysis of molten lead iodide, lead ions (Pb2+) are reduced at the cathode to form molten lead metal, while iodide ions (I-) are oxidized at the anode to form iodine gas and release electrons. This process helps separate the elements in the compound by using electrical energy.
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
Oxygen on the anode and lead on the cathode. Since it's electrolysis, the reaction is not spontaneous.

experiments with cathode rays lead to the discovery of the Electron.

Molten sodium chloride contains sodium and chloride ions. At the cathode, sodium ions gain electrons and are reduced to form sodium metal.
I think the cathode will be coated in silver.
Lead can be obtained from lead (II) bromide through a process called electrolysis. When lead (II) bromide is melted and electrolyzed, the lead ions migrate to the negative electrode (cathode) and are reduced to form lead metal, while bromide ions move to the positive electrode (anode) and are oxidized to produce bromine gas. This allows for the isolation of lead from lead (II) bromide.
