false

Explanation:

“Pure” (distilled, deionized, and degassed) water is a very poor electrical conductor. However, raindrops are far from being pure even before they hit the ground. Rain water typically contains dust, soot, airborne microorganisms, dissolved salts (especially near oceans), and small amounts of carbonic, sulfuric, and nitric/nitrous acids. The resulting acids are created from absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides that are emitted as hydrocarbon combustion byproducts, volcanic gas emissions, and lightning discharges. Rain formed downwind from active volcanoes and untreated emissions from coal-burning power plants can become quite acidic from sulfuric acid. Even weaker carbonic acid can slowly dissolve marble sculptures, tombstones, and limestone building surfaces over time.
