Water in its purest form is regarded almost as an insulator coz of its negligible conductivity. But due to addition of salts or impurities it becomes conducting.

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.
Is gold a good conductor or a good insulator?
Gold is a good conductor of electricity.
Is Salt Water an insulator or a conductor?
salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current
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 mental a conductor or a insulator?
Metal is a good conductor of electricity and heat.
Is nylon a good conductor of electricity?
No, nylon is not a good conductor of electricity, it is an insulator.

Is gold a good conductor or a good insulator?
Gold is a good conductor of electricity.
Is clay a good electrical insulator?
Personally I think that clay is not a insulator for it contains minerals which may work as an electricity conductor. Moreover, it contains water which is also an electricity conductor.

Is a nail a conductor of electricity or a insulator of electricity?
Anything made out of metal is likely to be a good conductor.
Is cermaic a good conductor?
No. Ceramic is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Is polyester a conductor?
No polyester is not a good conductor of electricity, it is a pretty good insulator though.
