Dear sushruta.holycross@gmail.com

Thanks for asking us a question in Ask the Expert section of TopperLearning.com.

Because oxidation i.e loss of electrons takes place at anode. So metal placed at anode will lose electrons and then at cathode by gaining electrons it forms elemental metal atom at the surface.
