Best Answer

Dissociation of a soluble ionic salt produce ions.
As an example:
NaCl----------------Na+ + Cl-
So the solution is electrically conductive; the solid, crystalline sodium chloride is not condutive - it is without mobile ions.

Why rainwater conducts electricity?

Rain water is not pure water. Rain water contains small amounts of ions as minerals and salt as well as pollutants. This means that it is a solution of ions, making it an electrolyte (conducts electricity).
