Tap water conducts electricity,whereas distilled water does not. Why?
(N/A) Tap water contains various dissolved salts that dissociate into ions when electricity is passed through it. These ions act as charge carriers,allowing the flow of electricity. In contrast,distilled water is pure and does not contain any dissolved salts or ions,making it an insulator that does not conduct electricity.
