Citric acid is an acid; albeit a weak acid. However, that means that the crystals would dissociate and have H+(aq) components. This H+ is a type of ion and ions are conductor, but since it’s a weak acid. It means that there is a LOW concentration of the H+ ion. With the low ion concentration, it would still conduct electricity.
