The liquified (/molten) MgCl₂ dissociates into Mg²⁺ and Cl⁻ ions;

The Cl⁻ ions are drawn to the positive electrode (which has a deficit of electrons) where they deposit electrons since they are negatively charged;

This yields Cl atoms (these will form Cl₂ gas by covalent bonding and bubbles will be seen as this gas rises out of the liquid and it will enter the air);

These electrons will flow from the positive electrode to the negative electrode;

The Mg²⁺ ions, conversely, will be drawn to the negative electrode or cathode (which has a surplus of electrons partly from those the Cl⁻ ions lose) where they pick up electrons since they have a positive charge;

This yields pure magnesium.

The magnesium has been produced with the application of electric current for the production of ions that accumulate at the electrodes.

The setup has been for the electrochemical process. The sample in the molten state has been applied with the electric current. The current results in the dissociation of the sample into ionic constituents.

The opposite charge attracts negative charge. Thus, the negative ion moves towards the positive electrode, and negative ion move towards the positive electrode. The accumulation of ions has been obtained from the electrodes.

The magnesium chloride under the influence of electric field has been converted into the positive Mg ions and negative Cl ions. The positive Mg ion will move towards the negative electrode, and thus Mg has been produced.
