answer A. electricity

Answer 1

Answer: Weak acids are poor conductors of electricity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weak acids are defined as the acids which dissociate weakly or partially when dissolved in water (polar solvent).

For example,
`CH_3COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^(-) + H^(+)`

Due to less dissociation there will be less number of ions present in a solution of weak acid. As a result, a weak acid will be poor conductor of electricity.

As electricity is the flow of ions.

Thus, we can conclude that weak acids are poor conductors of electricity.
