Question

in z scheme of light reaction during the water splitting how h+
ions o and electrons are produced because after splitting one take
+ve and other take -ve then from where does extra electron come?

Dear Student,
The photolysis of water involves breaking of water molecule to
form oxygen gas and hydrogen ions and electrons the released
electrons and hydrogen ions are captured by other substrate in the
vicinity
The light-dependent splitting of water is called Photolysis
2H2O → 4H+ + O2 +
4e−
