No. It becomes a much better conductor if you drop in a bit of some ionic substance
you may happen to have around the house, such as salt or sulfuric acid.

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.
Why is water a conductor?
Pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; but most natural water has some ions, that help conductivity.
Is water an a good insulator?
No. Pure water isn't a very good conductor, but it's not an insulator either. Water with dissolved minerals ranges from an indifferent to pretty decent conductor ... not as good as most metals, but not too shabby.
Is water a insulator o a conductor?
"Pure water" is an insulator, but real water has impurities which if ionized make it a conductor.
Can water be an electricity conductor?
Pure distilled water is not a good conductor of electricity. It is the impurities in water (usually salts) that conduct electricity. In fact, the conductivity of a sample of water can be used to measure the concentration of salts in the water sample.

Why is water a conductor?

Is water a conductor of electricty?
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.
Is Distilled water is conductor?
Absolutely pure water (distilled is a good example) is a very poor conductor of electricity. With just a bit of dissolved minerals it becomes a good conductor, but not when distilled.
What conducts electricity when mixed with water?
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.
Is water a better conductor of electricity than human body?
Pure water hardly conducts electricity at all. You have to dissolve a lot of stuff in pure water to make it as good a conductor as the human body is.
Is pure water is a conductor or insulator?
pure water is an insulator.
Which type of water is best conductor electricity?
Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.
Is pure water an electrical conductor?
At a high enough voltage, everything is an electrical conductor. Pure water is an exceptionally bad electrical conductor, though.
Does water conduct electricity well?
Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.
Is water an a good insulator?
No. Pure water isn't a very good conductor, but it's not an insulator either. Water with dissolved minerals ranges from an indifferent to pretty decent conductor ... not as good as most metals, but not too shabby.
Why Is distill water a good conductor of electricity?
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.
