Best Answer

The process by which water is split into H2 and O2 atoms is called electrolysis. A DC electric current is passed through the water which splits the H2O molecules into these respective atoms.

add. But all plants do this by the process of photosynthesis, whereby they split the O from the H. The H they use in constructing complex molecules, and the O they discharge as waste.
