Answer:
- Because of absence of Ions
Explanation:
A Solution of HCL in Water shows acidic behaviour because H+ ions dissociate completely .
Remember, More Number of Ions = More Acidic Behavior & Better Electricity Conduction
Moreover, H+ ions present in Alcohol don't dissociate entirely .
Hence, Alcohol doesn't show Acidic Behavior.
This is the same reason why HCL conducts electricity and Covalent Compounds like Alcohol don't.
