It doesn't.
Conductivity increases with increasing concentration.
acids are substances that release their hydrogen ion(s) while bases grab hydrogen ions to themselves. SO, adding acids will increase the H+ concentration while adding bases will decrease the H+ concetration of the solution. This would be considered a direct effect.
Poor compared to what? Compared to a strong acid, yes, as the concentration of ions determines the conductivity. However a weak acid will conduct better than an insulator like polythene.
Acids have a pH level below 7 while bases have a pH above 7. The chemical difference between acids and bases in the hydrogen ion concentration[H+]. Acids have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions while bases have a higher hydroxide ion concentration[OH-]
electricty
they have more ions than oter acids
with a conductivity test!

Acids can dissolve substances through a chemical reaction. Increasing the concentration of an acid increases the rate at which it can dissolve other substances, making it more dangerous if touched. Acids can be weakened by diluting them with water, decreasing the potency of the acid and making it safer.
Such acids are considered weak acids, such as organic acids.

The behavior of acids and bases depends on their strength or concentration.
