Explanation:
the explanation behind the fact that normal tap water conducts electricity but not distilled water lies with the chemicals dissolved in water.
normal tap water may look clear but actually metal salts like salts of calcium or magnesium. these salts form ion in water which is both of negative as well as positive nature this is because of this ions water conducts electricity.
distilled water is made by condensing water vapours so it contains no any salts .

Distilled water is water that was boiled to steam and recondensed to water. So distilled water is relatively pure H2O. Water can ionize to H+ and OH- like salt does, but it ionizes to a far lesser degree and is very resistant to conducting electricity.....
