Q. Why
does distilled water not conduct electricity.
where as rain water does​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Distilled water does not conduct electricity because it does not contain any ions in it as it is pure water. while rainwater conduct electricity because it contains gases that dissolve in water to form some kind of acid which then dissociate into ions.

Answer 2

Answer:

For a liquid to conduct electricity, it must contain free ions. Distilled water does not contain free ions and so electricity cannot pass through it. Rainwater has ions dissolved in it and hence it conducts electricity.
