Without the swapping of electrons, electricity is unable to travel through distilled water. Salt water, on the other hand, is considered a good conductor of electricity because it contains ions in it. Tap water, although it doesn't taste salty, can also conduct electricity because it isn't pure.

Distilled water does not contain any dissolved ions which can conduct electricity by acting as carrier of electric charge and hence they do not conduct electricity

Differentiate between maps and photographs?
Maps are dynamic in nature - for example when you zoom in on a map, the quality remains the same and added details are visible. In a photograph the content remains the same. Zooming in just zooms in on the same content, amplifying it.

259 x 39 x your age = your age written three times. how cool is this!!!! when you multiply 259 and 39, it becomes 10101. That is why when you multiply any number with 10101, you get your age written three times.
