It does conduct, better than paraffin or petrol for example, but not well compared to salty water or a metal. It depends what you mean by good. It is certainly dangerous to get it near mains electricity.
Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity because it lacks ions and impurities that are needed for the conduction of electric current. Pure water molecules do not dissociate to form ions easily, making it a non-conductor of electricity.
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
Water in general is a good conductor of electricity. Anything wet will therefore be a good conductor (this makes it dangerous to get certain things wet).Actually, pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; the fact that water usually IS a good conductor is due to diverse substances dissolved in water, such as salts - the ions make the water a good conductor.
Distilled water plus copper sulfate becomes a good conductor because copper ions from copper sulfate can dissociate in water to conduct electricity. However, distilled water alone is a poor conductor due to the lack of ions. Adding copper sulfate introduces ions, allowing the solution to conduct electricity effectively.
in real, pure distilled water is a bad conductor of electricity.but if the water contains some amount of salt then it conducts to some extent.
Filtered hot water is a better conductor of electricity than cold water due to the increased presence of dissolved minerals. Filtered water at normal temperature may conduct some electricity due to dissolved minerals, but it is not as conductive as hot water. Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity because it lacks dissolved minerals and ions that are needed for conducting electricity.
Yes and no. Pure water, i.e. distilled or deionized, is a very poor conductor of electricity. However, in most cases water is not pure and has some amount of dissolved ions making it a good conductor.
Distilled water is a bad conductor. Dirty water, or water with impurities added, is a good conductor. It is not the water that matters, but the impurities.

since iron is a metal and most metals are good conductors of electricity one can assume that iron is a fair conductor of electricity. The electrical conductivity of iron is approx. 1/6 from the electrical conductivity of silver (the best known conductor).
Water is a poor conductor of electricity. However, the presence of ions in water make the solution a good conductor of electricity.
