Explanation:
Using Arrhenius' definition, acids are those that produce the hydrogen ion when dissolved in water ( ) while bases produce the hydroxide ion ( ). These ions, when in water, act as charge carriers and can hence conduct electricity. Stronger acids dissociate completely and produce more of the ions.

Acids and bases conduct electricity because they are electrolytes. They dissociate into ions when placed into solutions. Strong acids and bases are strong electrolytes, while weak acids and bases are weak electrolytes.
