What happens when electricity hits water?

Answer 1

Water will conduct electricity depending on whether it is pure or not.
Distilled water is water purified of any contaminants and pure water does not conduct electricity, this is because an H2O molecule has no charge and no need to swap electrons. However, salt water is considered a good electricity conductor and this is due to the ions within it. Electrolytes are the substances within water that conduct electricity. Electrolytes are charged ions that can be formed from salts, acids, or bases. Substances such as sugar do not ionized and thus do not conduct electricity. Manahan describes how when salt, NaCl, is added to water it completely ionizes into a positively charged sodium ion, Na+, and a negatively charged chloride ion, Cl -. It is these ions that conduct electricity by passing electrons from one atom to another
