Pure water and pure salt or poor conductors of electricity. One salt is dissolved in water the resulting solution conducts electricity well. Which statement explains why this occurs with these substances
When salt is dissolved in water, it dissociates into ions (positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions). These ions are free to move and carry an electric charge, allowing the solution to conduct electricity. In contrast, pure water does not contain any ions that can carry an electric charge, so it is a poor conductor of electricity.
