it's a matter of the discharge priority stuff in electrlysis...
u know the reactivity series of metals that we did in O levels too?

so according to that, O2 is discharged in preference to SO4-2 and F- so it is discharged before F2 or SO2...
Br2 however is discharged in preference to O2.

similarly work with the reactivity series for metals... which will account for the discharge at the cathode.
Could you by any chance explain this in terms of the electrode potential?
As in what are the equations for hydrogen & oxygen & do we need to change the sign for the electrode potential if the equation is reversed I.e in oxidation form?
