The decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen
When water is heated to over 2000 degrees Celsius, a small fraction will decompose into hydrogen and oxygen. Significant heat energy is needed for this reaction to proceed, so the reaction is endothermic.
2 H20 becomes 2 H2 molecules and an O2 molecule.
