Question

Tap water conducts electricity but distilled water does not why

Answer 1

Explanation:

Electricity needs dust particles to flow. As tap water contains dust particles, it conducts electricity. But as we know that distilled water does not contain dust particles thus it cannot conduct electricity.

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\bold{\orange{AnsWer}}}}$

Distilled water is water that was boiled to steam and recondensed to water. So distilled water is relatively pure H2O. Water can ionize to H+ and OH- like salt does, but it ionizes to a far lesser degree and is very resistant to conducting electricity.
