    Answer is: bromine.

    Molten calcium bromide is separeted::

    CaBr ₂ (l) → Ca (l) + Br₂ (l),

    but first ionic bonds in this salt are separeted because of the heat:

    CaBr ₂ (l) → Ca²⁺ (l) + 2Br⁻ (l).

    Reaction of reduction at cathode (-) : Ca²⁺ (l) + 2e⁻ → Ca (l).

    Reaction of oxidation at anode (+) : 2Br⁻ (l) → Br₂ (l) + 2e⁻.

    The anode is positive and the cathode is negative.
