Question

Electrons are getting added to an element Y: 

which electrode will Y migrate to during the process of electrolysis?

Short Note

Solution

The addition of electrons means the reduction is taking place. So, if electrons are added to Y, it will get reduced.

So, Y will acquire a negative charge on it.

Therefore, during electrolysis, Y will migrate to a positive charge or to the anode.
