Is acetic acid bad or good?
Acetic acid is commonly known as vinegar. It depends on what you are using it for as to whether it is good or bad. Personally, I love balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, so I would say it is good. As to it's properties, acetic acid is a weak acid, meaning it will not burn you if you spill it, unlike HCl or H2SO4. Of course, if you are in a lab, you should still wear gloves, etc.

Why do you never want to tast or touch to identify an acid or a base?
If you have not identified it, it might be something that could hurt or kill you if you put it in your mouth.There are weak acids (as vinegar--acetic acid) and weak bases (like baking soda--sodium bicarbonate) that you could consume--but that assumes you already know what they are. If you taste an unknown subatance that turns out to be sulfuric acid, that's bad news!

Is vinegar a conductor?
Yes, but it is a weak conductor. Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid and water. Acids donate H+ ions into a solution. The concentration of these ions are what determines whether a solution is a strong electrolyte(conductor) or a weak one. Since vinegar has a low concentration of acetic acid(about 5%) it only has a pH of only ~2.4 and so is a weak acid.
