None. Water is not radioactive therefore neither of the two elements (hydrogen and oxygen) that make it decompose, the electrolysis splits the water molecule H2O into free hydrogen and free oxygen. Free, in this case means they are not combined with anything, it does not mean that they cost nothing.

Which elements would you get when electricity is passed through molten lead bromide?
Lead and bromine
Can water be an element when electricity is passed through it?
Water is not an element. It is composed of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom, therefore it is a compound. However, when you pass electricity through water under the right circumstance, the electricity will split the water into its component elements, Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What noble gas gives off an orange-red color when electricity is passed through it?
Neon gas gives off an orange - red color when electricity is passed through it.
What has a reddish orange glow when electricity is passed through it?
neon
When electricity is passed through acidified water bubbles are formed this is because water?

What reaction takes place when extracting elements from a compound?
A decomposition reaction breaks down a compound into its elements. For example, when an electric current is passed through water, it decomposes into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. 2H2O --electrolysis--> 2H2 + O2
How does electricity come to your house?
Electricity is produced in power station and then passed through to a generator. The generator passes the electricity through lines and then to another generator. it is again passed through lines and then to a primary customer which may be an industry or an electricity company. It is then passed on to a secondary customer through power lines through to your house.

How is electricity transferred from batteries to the light bulb?
Electricity is passed through a wire from battery to bulb
When electricity is passed through acidified water bubbles are formed this is because water?
conducts electricity.
What will happen to water molecule when electricity is passed through water during electrolysis?
when electricity is passed through water using electrolysis, it will decompose to form hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) atoms
How does electricity move through air?
Electricity only moves through the air if there are electrically charged particles in the air and a live current passed through it. It also travels in the form of static electricity (lightning).
