Solution

Electrolytic reduction(Electrolysis) is a process used in the release of less reactive metals.
They are less at cathode by attracting electrons.
The hydroxide and chlorides of metals can be reduced from their fused salts by electrolytic reduction using this method. Example : $Na$ , $K$ , $Mg$ , $Ca$ , etc.
