The terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is water is it broken down to hydrogen and oxygen?

No, it is the other way round:The terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is oxygen. Together with H+ ions water molecules are formed. O2 + 4 e- + 4 H+ ==> 2 H2O

What is the electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to operate (whereas anaerobic respiration does not), and oxygen is the electron acceptor.
