Question

pure water is a insulators ,while normal water is conductor of electricity .why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

For electricity to travel through a liquid, a movement of charge must take place through the liquid. In tap water , rainwater and seawater(NORMAL WATER), there are countless impurities, such as salt (Na+), calcium (Ca 2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) ions (source). Because these are charged, when they move through water, electricity is able to flow through the liquid. In PURE water, however, there are no impurities and therefore no ions. There are only neutral molecules, and these neutral molecules don’t have any charge. For that reason, PURE water is unable to conduct electricity.
