Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution?

Question:

Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease with dilution?

Solution:

The conductivity of a solution is the conductance of ions present in a unit volume of the solution. The number of ions (responsible for carrying current) decreases when the solution is diluted. As a result, the conductivity of a solution decreases with dilution.
