yes Charge carrying capacity of water Electric current will not move through water if the water is pure i.e. free form ions (distilled water, Ultra pure water. If the water have any impurities of dissolved salts there will be a movement of free ions, they will carry electric charge. The charge carrying capacity of water is called its conductivity. Conductivity will be measured by whetstone bridge method.

∙ 15y agoYes, this is why water makes a good conductor. Though electrons may move through water, recall that one electron does not necessarily move through water in one instant. Much like electrons move through a wire, each electron collides with its surrounding, thus only traveling a short distance. Current occurs when the short distance of one electron, move another electron a short distance, which in turn moves another a short distance, and so on and so forth. Eventually, the last electron in the chain moves a short distance as if it were the first electron that came into the water. It works kind of like one of those pendulums in which the only balls to really move are the ones at the end of a row of steel spheres. Physics would begin explaining momentum.

How can heat make water move?
The fact that it is a liquid In a liquid the bonds between atoms are weaker so they move around more freely
How can you compare the movement of the atoms in liquid steel and solid steel?
In liquid steel, the atoms are more free and can move around like water. In solid steel the atoms are tightly packed and cannot move at all.
What happens to atoms in fuel?
The atoms move faster as they heat up.
Do the atoms of gasses move faster than the atoms of solids?
In a solid the atoms are tightly packed together and vibrate in place, in a liquid the atoms are loosely packed together and can move past each other, and in a gas the atoms are far apart and move freely and collide frequently.
What us ways in which atoms ions or molecules move?
they are attracted to each other opposites attract in tight spaces
Does gas atoms move more freely than water atoms?
Yes

Why does objecs move faster in hot water than in cold water?
Heat is the vibration of atoms, so atoms move faster. That's why you can clean things easier in hot water and why smells travel faster in a warmer room.
Does temperature effect the brightness of a glowstick?
Yes it is. If you put a activated glow stick in hot water the atoms in a glow stick will start to move around. The plastic will expand letting the atoms move. When the atoms move they create energy, energy equals bright light. If you were to put the activated glow stick in room temperature water it would not be as bright. The atoms will stay the same. If you were to put a activated glow stick in cold water the atoms won't move. They will huddle together. No movement means no energy which means no brightness. You are welcome :)
Can atoms move?
Yes atoms do move
Why does water contract when it is cold?
Water contracts when its cold because the atoms have less energy, and when atoms have less energy they dont move as much, which causes them to contract.
How can you compare the movement of the atoms in liquid steel and solid steel?
In liquid steel, the atoms are more free and can move around like water. In solid steel the atoms are tightly packed and cannot move at all.
How can you tell witch of matter is water?
the atoms in a liquid can move around freely.
What state do atoms not move at all?
In a solid atoms do not move at all, but they can vibrate.
Is it true or false that atoms in a gas move more rapidly than atoms in a liquid or a solid do?
it is true atoms in a gas move faster than a liquid and atoms in a liquid move faster than atoms in a solid
How are atoms arrange in a liquid?
the atoms in a liquid are loosely packed together. they can move, but they have to move together.
How you can move your hands in air but to do so in water or through a hard solid wooden block a lot of effort is required Is it possible at all to move your hands through the wooden block?
No, because the atoms of the wooden block are solid, and stuck in place. In water the atoms are a bit less fixed, giving you the ability to move them through but with a little effort. In air, they are free to move giving you possibility to move them with barely any effort.
