Answer:

actually pure water doesnt conduct electricity, any salts or impurities dissolved in water enable it to conduct electricity, When salts are dissolved in water, they separate into different electrically charged atoms called ions. Sodium chloride (NaCl), breaks up into positive Na ions and negative Cl ions.

Answer:

Pure water contains very few ions, so it does not conduct electricity very well. When table salt is dissolved in water, the solution conducts very well, because the solution contains ions. ... When sugar is dissolved in water, the solution does not conduct electricity, because there are no ions in the solution.

why would you expect to see similar rocks and rock structures on two land masses that were connected at one time?

tangare [24]

If they were connected at one time than you would expect to find similar rock structures because they eroded, weathered, and we’re formed most likely at the same time out of the same material. So basically since they were near each other they were under the same or similar conditions.

Which compound dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution that can conduct an electric current?
