when at pH 7, water has quite a few free electrons. pH = -log [H+]
in simpler terms, pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. and nanopure water conducts electricity quite well.
what you described were orbitals, not electrons, and not all of them have to be filled at all times. and H+ (hytdrogen ion) has no electrons. it's a free proton.
