Question

During the course of electrolysis the cathode is removed :

• A. both cations and anions move towards the anode
• B. the anions only move towards the anode
• C. the movement of ions completely stops
• D. the ions move at random

Answer 1

The correct option is D the ions move at random

If the clathode is removed, circuit is broken, no movement of electrons.
$\therefore$ no directional movement of ions
Hence ions move at random.
