Electroplating is a process commonly known as Electrolysis.

Electrolysis producing a chemical change by passing an electrical current through to the electrolyte (solution).

The ions migrating to the electrodes, the positive ions which are the metal being deposited are attracted to the negative charged electrode (the part being plated).

The negative ions are attracted to the positive electrode (Anode) and given off as gases.
