When curret is passed through molten sodium chloride

Options

A. Sodium is deposited. at the positive electrode and chlorine gas "is formed at the negative electrode.
B. Sodium is evaporated and chloride ions are formed at the negative electrode
C. Sodium is dq:,osited at the positive electrode and chlorine is deposited at the negative electrode
D. Sodium is deposited at the negative electrode and the chlorine gas is formed at the positive electrode

Explanation

**Step-by-Step Solution:**

1. **Understanding the Composition of Molten Sodium Chloride:**
- When sodium chloride (NaCl) is melted, it dissociates into its constituent ions: sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻).

2. **Identifying Electrodes:**
- In an electrolysis setup, there are two electrodes: the anode (positive electrode) and the cathode (negative electrode).
