ANSWER:-
Both are chemical changes as they are irreversible and chemical decomposition gets changed.
The fomation of water is a combination reaction.
=) 2H2 + O2-------) 2H2O
The electrolysis of water to give hydrogen & oxygen is a decomposition reaction.
=) 2H2O---------) 2H2 + O2
hope it helps ☺️
