Best Answer

Pure ethanol, like pure water, is a poor conductor of electricity. This is because there are nearly no electrolytes in the substance, besides the negligible number that form as a result of auto-ionization. Therefore, the charge cannot be carried through the ethanol. However, impurities may substantially increase the conductivity of an ethanol solution.

No. Alkanes are molecular substances that do not regularly ionize.
