Pure water, that is to say without any other substances, actually does not conduct electricity. Water with impurities, on the other hand, does conduct electricity. Since water is usually impure, common water conducts electricity.

Is aluminium foil a Conductor or an Insulator?
i think it is a insulator
Is ocean water a conductor or a insulator?
Water is an electricity conductor because: - extremely pure water is difficult to obtain and store - hydrolysis of water lead to ions H+ and OH-
Is water is a conductor?
Pure water itself is a poor conductor of electricity because it is a non-polar molecule. However, water can conduct electricity when it contains dissolved ions or impurities which increase its conductivity.
Is a door key an insulator?
If door knob is a metal then it is conductor if not like wood then insulator.
What is the definition of conductors and insulators?
A conductor is a material that can transfer energy efficiently and and insulator is the opposite.Conductor means something that blocks it and insulator means something that can go through itA conductor easily transfers energy in the form of electricity and/or heat, while an insulator does not easily transfer these types of energy.In electricity, a conductor is a material that can let current pass through and an insulator does not let current pass through,or rather copper is a conductor and plastic is an insulator.A insulator is something that will not allowheat/electricity to pass through it and a conductor is something that allows heat/electricity to pass through it.
Is water vapor an electricity conductor?
It is an insulator
Is water an insulator or conductor?
Pure water (distilled water) is an insulator. Generally we think of water as a conductor because there are impurity ions in the water, such as tap water. Pure water can't be called a conductor, but it can also conduct electricity.
What is a conductor of electricity and an insulator of electricity?
a conductor is anything metal and an insulator is anything rubber
Is a paper conductor or insulator of electricity?
Paper is an insulator of electricity.
Is a wood log a insulator or an conductor?
Wood in itself is an insulator. But when wet, the water particles can conduct electricity.. Hence wet wood will be a conductor, although not a very good conductor, since the current passes only through a very small area
Is paper an insulator or conductor of electricity?
An insulator.
Is oxygen a insulator for a conductor of electricity?
Insulator.
Is a batter an insulator or conductor?
A conductor. Not a really great conductor, but the water and salts in it form an electrolyte which can conduct electricity.
Is nylon a good conductor of electricity?
No, nylon is not a good conductor of electricity, it is an insulator.
Is alcohol a conductor or insulator of electricity?
conductor
Is sponge a electrical conductor or insulator?
An insulator or neither. The water inside of the sponge is what would conduct electricity.
Is tin a insulator or an conductor?
No. Tin is a conductor of both heat and electricity.
