Strong acids ionizes more completely and it is ions that conduct electricity in liquids.

Strong acids dissociate to produce more ions in solution, they have a higher dissociation constant. Weak acids dissociate only partially at normal concentrations, so the number of ions is less at a given molarity. Since charges (electrons, ions) are responsible for conduction, stronger acid solutions are better conductors.

strong acids disaccociate in water more completely than weak acids producing more H+ ions. Since there is a higher concentration of H+ ions, there are more charged particles avaliable to conduct the electricity.
