Detailed Solution

The given statement is False.
A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. While electricity passes through it, water will split into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Electrolysis in water is mainly carried out to yield pure hydrogen and oxygen. While the electrolysis of water, two reactions occur, which are at the cathode and anode. Oxidation is at the anode, and reduction is at the cathode. During electrolysis, an oxidation reaction occurs when water molecules give electrons to the anode and liberate oxygen gas at the anode. Thus, at the anode, oxygen gas is getting liberated.
