1.	Assertion (A): The products of electrolysis of water are hydrogen and oxygen. Reason (R ): In electrolysis process of water, hydrogen ions are attracted to anode and hydroxyl ions are attracted to cathode.
Answer» Both (A) and (R ) are TRUE and (R ) is the CORRECT reason for (A). Both (A) and (R ) are true but (R ) is not the correct reason for (A) (A) is true but (R ) is false (A) is false but (R ) is true. Solution :During the electrolysis of water the electrolyte water DISSOCIATES in `H^(+)` and `OH^(-)` ions which move to cathode and anode RESPECTIVELY. Oxygen and hydrogen are produced.
