Redox reaction

Reason — During electrolysis, the reaction at the cathode involves reduction of cations as they gain electrons to become neutral atoms while that at anode involves oxidation of anions as they lose electrons to become neutral. As redox reactions are reactions where oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously. Hence, electrolysis is an example of redox reaction.
