At the same time, this electrode will lose electrons, making this guy positively charged, because electrons will want to flow from this guy to this guy. So let's look at our solution. Within our solution, we have a bunch of sodium ions dissolved and chloride ions dissolved. The positively charged ions will be attracted to the negatively charged electrode. So a lot of the sodium ions will move to the left side next to this negatively charged electrode. Likewise, the negatively charged ions will move towards a positively charged electrode.
