Are acids good Conductor of electricity?

Dear Student,

Yes! Acids are good conductor of electricity when they are taken in aqueous solution. When an acid is dissolved in water,It lose hydrogen ions and loses lots of anions as well. Ionic solutions are good conductors of electricity. The stronger the acid, the more hydrogen ions in solution (and more anions), the better the conductor.

Weak acids like vinegar (acetic acid) conduct much less because it loses much fewer ions in solution. 

Regards.
