Answer:

Then decomposition of water involves its breakdown into Hydrogen and Oxygen

The energy derived is absorbed which means it’s an endothermic reaction. If the energy is released to the surroundings/environment, it is termed as exothermic.

In an endothermic reactions, the reaction occurs when the bonds present in the reactants are broken and greater than the release of new bonds during products formation.
