Question

Rain water conducts electricity but distilled water does not. Why?

Answer 1

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

☺ Hello mate__ ❤

◾◾here is your answer...

✒Distilled water(tap water) is a pure form of water and is not contain any type of ions . Therefore, it does not conduct electricity.

✒Rain water, being an impure form of water, contains many ions such as acids. hence, it conducts electricity.

I hope, this will help you

Thank you______❤
