No - it is not.
For something to conduct electricity, it must have atoms or molecules inside it which are charged (so that they can carry the current from one side to the other). Water has no charged molecules. H20 is neutral (although occasionally it can ionise, but we can ignore that). And so it will only conduct if something charged is dissolved in it (for example table salt).
Hope this helps.
Tap water conducts electricity because of the minerals it contains. Pure, or more accurately, distilled water contains almost no minerals for a charge to travel through.
No. It is the impurities in the water (like salt) that make it conductive. no,pure water is not at all conductive but impurities present in determine its conductivity..
No, but it becomes conductive once and ion is dissolved in it.
dirty water or salt water is a great conductor. pure water is not a conducter
Pure water comparatively is not a good conductor of electricity as opposed to water containing minerals and electrolytes
Pure water will not conduct an electric current. There must be ions present in the water to carry the current.
pure water is an insulator.
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.
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.
It is a conductor. Alloys like bronze are generally not as good at conducting electricity as pure metals.
Most living beings conduct electricity rather well, because of the water content.Pure water is not a good conductor, but most water that occurs in nature is not pure (as in "distilled"); it has enough dissolved ions to be able to conduct electricity.Most living beings conduct electricity rather well, because of the water content.Pure water is not a good conductor, but most water that occurs in nature is not pure (as in "distilled"); it has enough dissolved ions to be able to conduct electricity.Most living beings conduct electricity rather well, because of the water content.Pure water is not a good conductor, but most water that occurs in nature is not pure (as in "distilled"); it has enough dissolved ions to be able to conduct electricity.Most living beings conduct electricity rather well, because of the water content.Pure water is not a good conductor, but most water that occurs in nature is not pure (as in "distilled"); it has enough dissolved ions to be able to conduct electricity.
Pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; but most natural water has some ions, that help conductivity.
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.
Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.
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.
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.
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.
Pure water is NOT magnetic, a poor conductor of electricity, but good in sound and heat.
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.
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.
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.

Very pure distilled water is a good conductor of heat but is not so good for electricity and it is not a metal. Oil is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity and it is not a metal. Teflon (a non-stick coating used on cooking pans) is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity and it is not a metal.
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.
