Answer:
Distilled water does not conduct
electricity because it does not contain any ionic compound like acids, bases or
salts, dissolved in it. Rain water, while falling on Earth through the
atmosphere, dissolves acidic gases like CO2, SO2, etc.,
from the air and forms acids like carbonic acid (H2CO3),
sulphurous acid (H2SO3), etc. These acids provide
hydrogen ions (H+) to rain water. So, due to the presence of these
acids, rain water conducts electricity.
