The element that is normally obtained by the electrolysis of its fused salts is aluminum.

Here's why:

* Aluminum's Reactivity: Aluminum is a very reactive metal, meaning it readily forms chemical bonds. This makes it difficult to extract from its ores using traditional chemical methods.

* Electrolysis: Electrolysis provides the necessary energy to break the strong chemical bonds holding aluminum atoms within its compounds. The process involves passing an electric current through a molten (fused) mixture of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) and cryolite (Na₃AlF₆), which acts as a solvent and lowers the melting point.

* Hall-Héroult Process: This is the industrial process used to extract aluminum through electrolysis.
