Answer:
No, distilled water does not conduct electricity.
If we'll add sugar then it'll not conduct electricity, if we'll add salt it'll conduct electricity.

Answer:
Pure water or distilled water does not conduct electricity. But tap water , rainwater and seawater do conduct electricity. For electricity to travel through a liquid a movement of charge must take place through the liquid. In tap water, rainwater, and seawater, there are impurities like salt (Na +) and calcium (Ca 2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions. Because these are charged when they move through water , electricity flows through liquid. In distilled water, there are no impurities , there are no ions, there are only neutral ( no charge) water molecules and these neutral molecules don't have charge, so distilled water does not conduct electricity. Interestingly, since water from different sources and in different places contains different amounts of these impurities , which are charged ions, therefore water from different sources will conduct electricity at different rates.
