Solution

Dear student,
The skeletal form of the reaction represents each type of reactants and products involved or take part in a reaction, and this reaction in unbalanced also
The decomposition of water in skeletal form is , H₂O(l) $\overset{E l e c t r o l y s i s}{\to}$ H₂(g) + O₂(g)
And the balanced equation is, 2 H₂O(l) $\overset{E l e c t r o l y s i s}{\to}$ 2 H₂(g) + O₂(g)
