Pure water and pure salt or poor conductors of electricity when salt is dissolve in the water, resulting solution conduct electricity while which statement explains why this occurs with these substances
When salt is dissolved in water, it breaks apart into ions (Na+ and Cl-) which are free to move around in the solution. The presence of these charged particles allows the solution to conduct electricity, as the ions can carry the electric current. Pure water and pure salt on their own do not conduct electricity because they do not have freely moving charged particles.
