Explanation:

• Electrolysis is the process in which a substance is decomposed or break down into a simpler substance with the passage of electricity in its moltens (ionic ) or aqueous form.i.e “breakdown by electricity”
• In case of electrolysis of water, it is decomposed into hydrogen and Oxygen gas on passing of electric current.
• Electrolysis of water is used to obtain pure hydrogen or Oxygen gas for laboratory purposes.
