The availability of ions is very important to conduct electricity. Distilled water is a pure type of water which does not contain any ions in it. Whereas rainwater contains dissolved gasses such as SO₂, CO₂.

These gases dissolve in water to form some kind of acids like carbonic acids which dissociates to give ions. Thus rainwater is conducting electricity while distilled water is not conducting electricity.

Distilled water does not contain salts or we can rather say ions to get dissociated due to which it doesn't conduct electricity. Whereas as rain water contains solute so it conducts electricity
