Pure water does conduct electricity, but only to a small extent. It contains very low levels of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. Try touching power lines with a wet stick and see if you get electrocuted! It's the water, not the wood, that does the damage.

No, CaO (calcium oxide) is an ionic compound that does not conduct electricity in its solid form. It only conducts electricity when dissolved in water or melted to form a liquid state.


Does aluminium sulphate conducts electricity?

Yes if it's molten or dissolved in water as the ions (charged particles) can move. No when in solid state as the ions can't move out of position so there is/are no charge/ no free electrons.

Is water a good conductor or insulator of electricity?

Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity. However, water can conduct electricity if it contains impurities or if it has a high concentration of ions. Distilled water and pure water do not conduct electricity well.

Is potasium chloride a good conductor of electricity?

Potassium chloride is a poor conductor of electricity in its solid form. However, when dissolved in water, it dissociates into ions (K+ and Cl-) that can carry electrical charge and thus conducts electricity.


What liquid conducts electricity best?

Generally, pure water is a poor conductor of electricity. However, water with impurities such as salts or minerals can conduct electricity better. Other liquids that are good conductors of electricity include acids, bases, and some metals in liquid form like mercury.
