Molten barium chloride is separetes:
BaCl
₂(l) → Ba(l) + Cl₂(g), 
but first ionic bonds in this salt are separeted because of heat: 
BaCl
₂(l) → Ba²⁺(l) + 2Cl⁻(l).

Reaction of reduction at cathode(-): Ba²⁺(l) + 2e⁻ → Ba(l).

Reaction of oxidation at anode(+): 2Cl⁻(l) → Cl₂(g) + 2e⁻.

The anode is positive and the cathode is negative.
