Electrolysis is the process by which water can be split into Hydrogen Gas and Oxygen. This is done by running a current of electricity through the water which is diluted with sulphuric acid (or lemon water or salt) because it is a good conductor of electricity. Hydrogen is a Cation and Oxygen is an Anion then near the positive ends of the current you will find Hydrogen bubbles and the negative side you will find Oxygen bubbles.
