Please help!-- 20 pts! The electrolyte lithium chloride (LiCl) dissolves into positively charged Li+ and negatively charged Cl– ions in water containing electrodes.

What will happen next?

The positively charged ions will be attracted to the negative electrode and gain electrons. Meanwhile, the negatively charged ions will be attracted to the positive electrode and release electrons.
The negatively charged ions will be attracted to the negative electrode and release electrons. Meanwhile, the positively charged ions will be attracted to the positive electrode and gain electrons.

Explanation:

Electrolysis is breaking down of a substance into its constituents by the action of electrical current.  

Cations wich are positively charged specie moves towards the negatively charged electrode that is towards the cathode. On reaching cathode, cations accepts electrons and get reduced through reduction reaction.

Anions wich are negatively charged specie moves towards the positively charged electrode that is towards the anode. On reaching anode, anions donate electrons and get oxidized through oxidation reaction.

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
