Pure water is
Correct answer: A. poor conductor
- A. poor conductor
- B. very good conductor
- C. slight conductance
- D. neutral
Explanation
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity. It has a low concentration of ions, primarily H+ and OH− ions resulting from the autoionization of water. The low ion concentration makes pure water a poor conductor compared to substances with higher ion concentrations, like salts or acids.

About Solutions and Colloids
Solutions are described using molarity, molality, normality, mole fraction, percentage concentration and parts per million. Coverage also includes vapour-pressure lowering, boiling-point elevation, freezing-point depression and osmotic pressure, then distinguishes true solutions, colloids and suspensions by particle size, stability, light scattering and settling.
