Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or in solution. During electrolysis, positively charged ions move to one side (cathode, which is the negatively charged electrode) and form metals. The negatively charged ions move to the other side (anode, the positively charged electrode) to form non metals. This is because opposite charges attract. These ions become atoms / new products because they undergo a reaction where either a gain or loss of electrons occurs.
TO REMEMBER:

Anode
