Question

Pure distilled water is a good conductor of electricity - True or False?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

At room temperature, water undergoes very little self-ionization. Thus we can neglect the concentrations of ions $H^{+}$ and $O{H}^{-}$ . Hence, without there being adequate ions, distilled water tends to be a poor conductor of electricity.
