Gallium is a metal and will therefore rather have emitted its electrons in the compound, so cations are present. The iodine atoms were thereby charged to anions, i.e. negatively.

An electrolysis gives the gallium cations electrons again, but it takes them from the iodine anions.

Both types of ions thus become atoms again by electrolysis.

Does this help to keep thinking?
