Which of the following liquid are bad conductor of electricity - sugar solution, salt solution, tap water, distilled water and copper sulphate solution? Why?

Solution

1) Distilled water

Distilled water doesn't contain any ions or acidic particles. So, it doesn't conduct.

2)Sugar solution

Water can conduct electricity only when charged ions are present in it. When sugar is dissolved in water, it does not create ions in water. Therefore, sugar solution is not a conductor of electricity.

In other solutions ions are present.

Thank you :)
