While there are many liquids that are known to conduct electricity, there are several that do not. These liquids that don't conduct electricity include milk, lava in its molten state, melting wax, and soda pop.

∙ 14y agoBelieve it or not, pure water does not conduct electricity. You have to add an ionizing agent, such as a salt or minerals to make it conductive. This is the reason that humidifiers (that heat water by passing current through it), instruct you to add a pinch of salt if the water doesn't heat properly.

What do we call the movement of electric charge?
electricity
What is a pH level below 7 called?
We call those liquids acids. Above 7 is a base.
Why do metals conduct electricity well?
Because the valence (outermost) electron shell of a metal atom is less than half full, the electrons are loosely held in that orbit and are able to break away from that atom to become 'free electrons'. These free electrons are then able to perform as charge carriers, the drift of which, we call an electric current.
What do you call something that can not be dissolved?
Something that cannot be dissolved is called insoluble.
Is air a good or poor conductor of electricity?
Generally, air is a poor conductor of electricity. It is actually pretty insulative, particularly when it is dry. It takes thousands of volts to break air down and make it conduct. Even the little shock you get reaching for a doorknob is actually "high voltage" as we know it (just low current). As regards conducting heat, it will, but not that well. It has a low heat capacity and it takes a lot of circulation to get air to move thermal energy (heat) from point A to point B. It can generally be said that air is a pretty poor conductor of heat, and a worse conductor of electricity.
What do you call the liquid which conduct electricity?
Electrolytes
What do you call a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily?
A material that electricity can conduct electricity.
What do we call the liquid which do not conduct electricity called?
Insulators
What do you call a substance that doesn't conduct electricity?
Insulator
List the object that did not conduct electricity what would you call these?
Insulator
What do you call compounds that conduct electricity when dissolved or melted?
Electrolytes
What do you call a material that does not let electricity pass through it?
A material that does not conduct (or allow the 'passage' of) electricity is called an "insulator".
What do you call solids that conduct electricity?
A substance that conducts electricity is a conductor. There is no special name for one that is solid; if you need to specify that it is solid, just call it a "solid conductor".
What conducts electricity some of the time?
Semiconductor. That's why they call it semi vs always conductor. It will only conduct electricity when there is voltage on its gate to open the channel.
Materials that do not conduct electrical charges at all are called insulators?
No material exists that doesn't conduct electrical charges at all. We call materials that conduct electrical charges poorly insulators; a material that didn't conduct electricity at all would be a perfect insulator.
What do you call liquids that dissolve liquids?
insoulble
What shall do if someones having electric shock?
you knock the person away with something that doesnt conduct electricity like a broomstick for example and then call the emergency services.
