Can saltwater conduct electricity?

Yes, you silly.


Is saltwater a conductor?

Yes, saltwater is a conductor of electricity. The amount of conductivity depends on the amount of salt dissolved in the solution. The greater the salt, or other impurities, the greater the conductivity. Pure water, which can only be achieved in a closed loop in laboratory conditions does not conduct electricity. Even exposing pure water to the atmosphere allows impurities into the water, and it is the impurities that actually conduct electricity.


Name two metals that do not conduct electricity?

That would be impossible to do because all metals conduct electricity. It is one of the fundamental properties that metals possess.


Why would seawater be a better conductor of electricity than river water?

Water is actually a weak insulator and does not transmit current well unless it has ions in it, like saltwater does. Seaweeds are limited in their abilities to conduct electricity per se, but as they come from saltwater, the salts still present on their "leaves" conduct relatively well.
