Explanation:

decomposition

when an electric current is passed through water Electrolytic decomposition takes place. This means that the water splits into its constitute elements - Hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2).

Answer 2

Answer:

A decomposition reaction takes place when an electric current/electricity is passed through water.

Explanation:

• The water splits up into oxygen and hydrogen gas when an electric current is passed through water​.
• The hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode and the oxygen gas is produced at the anode.

The decomposition reaction is the reaction in which two or more products are produced due to the breaking up of a reactant.

$AB$ → $A + B$

In the electrolysis of the water, the water molecule breaks into oxygen and hydrogen molecules when the electric current is passed.

So, a decomposition reaction takes place when an electric current is passed through water.
