(a)  Many candidates gave an incomplete  explanation.  Many stopped at “cations  are positive ions” and not all positive ions are cations.
(b) Many candidates were unable to present a  diagram that shows a cathode and an anode dipped in an electrolyte or they drew  wrong diagrams connecting external components to an otherwise correct set-up.
                        Very poor performance was registered by candidates.
                        The expected  answer is:
                        (a)   Cations – are positive ions that are  attracted to the cathode (during electrolysis)

                        Correct  diagram/sketch:  labeling cathode, anode  and electrolyte.
