A. An element gains one or more electrons
Explanation:
Reduction is a chemical reaction that involves the gaining of electrons by one of the atoms involved in the reaction between two chemicals. The term refers to the element that
It becomes ionized and attains its stable electronic configuration.
Electrolysis of water<span> is the </span><span>decomposition reaction, because from one molecule (water) two molecules (hydrogen and oxygen) are produced. Water is separeted into two molecules:
</span>Reaction of reduction at cathode: 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻<span> → H</span>₂(g<span>).
</span><span><span>Reaction of oxidation at anode: 2H</span></span>₂<span><span>O(l) → O</span></span>₂<span><span>(g) + 4H</span></span>⁺(<span><span>aq) + 4e</span></span>⁻.<span><span>
