Anions attracted to Anode.
Then each anion lose 1 electron in the electrodes(Anode).
The electrons that are lost go where ah?Stored in the electrodes?
And another qn
Lets say starting electrolyte is Lead(II) Bromide.
Decomposed to lead and bromine at the end right..
Where will the lead and bromine be formed?Around the electrodes?Cant be in that same beaker of solution can it?
Thx all

btw you sji what class currently?
and anions might not only lose one electron. eg. sulpates, they lose two. the electrons go and balance the charge of the cations lah.
cations settle at the cathode and anions at the anode. read the text, all in detail there. -
