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.

Rain water conducts electricity but distilled water does not because
------------------------------------
1)distilled water does not contain any ions in it as we remove all of them in the process of distillation
2)rain water contains many ions in it which will lead to conduction
for any fluid to conduct electricity it should have free electrons in it and electricity is due to the flow of ions in these type of materials
