Electrolysis is the process of using electrical current to cause a nonspontaneous reaction to occur. For example, water molecules do not readily decompose into hydrogen and oxygen. However, water can be decomposed using electrolysis according to the following reaction.

2H2O (l) ---> 2H2(g) + O2 (g)

Since electrolysis involves the transfer of electrons, it is classified as a type of oxidation
