The commonest test is to check the electrical conductivity between two electrodes. Pure water has very poor conductivity, but the conductivity improves as more ions are dissolved in it. Sea water has a conductivity of around 5 S/m (Siemens per metre) Drinking water has a conductivity of 0.005 - 0.05 S/m . Ultra-pure water has a much lower conductivity of 5.5 x 10-6 S/m - a million times smaller than that of sea water.
The thermal conductivity of radon is 0.00361 W/(m K)
The electrical conductivity of silver is 15,87 nanoohm.m at 20 oC.
From some site: Electrical conductivity: 5.3 x 106 S m-1 In other words, I don't know what that means
The thermal conductivity of aluminum can actually vary depending on the aluminum being inspected. This variation will be due to impurities within the material, but generally speaking, aluminum's thermal conductivity is about 235 W/m-K.
Pure water has extremely low conductivity but any dissolved salts in the water increase its conductivity. Sea water with 3% salt has a high conductivity of 5 S/m.

The electrical conductivity of argon is very low, somewhere around 1x10^-6 S/m under normal conditions. The thermal conductivity of argon is 0,01772 W/(m · K) (at 300 K).
Water conductivityPure water is not a good conductor of electricity. Ordinary distilled water in equilibrium with carbon dioxide of the air has a conductivity of about 10 x 10-6 W-1*m-1 (20 dS/m). Because the electrical current is transported by the ions in solution, the conductivity increases as the concentration of ions increases.Thus conductivity increases as water dissolved ionic species.
Water will conduct electricity if salt NaCl is dissolved in it. The conductivity is proportional to the salt concentration, and 3% gives a conductivity of 5 S/m, as in sea water.
If it is infinitely diluted, then naturally the solute (HOH) is the conductor. Conductivity of pure water is about 5.5 · 10-6 S/m
The thermal conductivity of radon is 0.00361 W/(m K)
It seems the water is not a very good conductor. Distilled water doesn't conduct at all. Pure water is not a good conductor of electricity. Ordinary distilled water in equilibrium with carbon dioxide of the air has a conductivity of about 10 x 10-6 W-1*m-1 (20 dS/m). Because the electrical current is transported by the ions in solution, the conductivity increases as the concentration of ions increases. Thus conductivity increases as water dissolved ionic species. Typical conductivity of waters: Ultra pure water 5.5 · 10-6 S/m Drinking water 0.005 - 0.05 S/m Sea water 5 S/m for refence, Copper conductivity is 5.96 * 10^7 @20C. Car batteries have great output for current as needed in starting cycle, and they are able to keep up the Voltage in Copper for some time even though the water conducts the current between the poles.
In general water, fresh water (0.01 S/m) to sea water (4 S/m), is more conductive than oil (more or less from 20 pS/cm to 1000 pS/cm)
0.30 - 0.64 S m-1 (average) for thick corn syrup (1:1 cornflour & water heated to a jelly), conductivity increases as water is added.
1.00 M AlCl3 solution shows more conductivity due to presence of more charges on ions.
It is a conductor. While air has a thermal conductivity of 0.025 W/M-K, water has 0.6 W/M-K. Air, with this thermal conductivity, is considered one of the best isolators - practically, every isolation material (for construction purposes) is made up out of little cells full with air, so most of it's volume is actually air. Water is about 24 times more conductive. Which is still pretty bad compared to the thermal conductivity of aluminum, which is 237 W/M-K.
