Question

if electrons are getting added to an element Y; then: i) is Y getting oxidized or reduced, ii) what charge will Y migrate to during the process of electrolysis?

Answer 1

Reduction can be termed as the process of adding electrons.So Y is reduced.

If electrons are added then Y will be negative in charge.(Y becomes an anion) So Y will migrate towards opposite charged electrode,ie positive charged electrode(Anode)
