What does not conduct electricity well?

I think it could be lead


What are properties of safe and clean water?

One way to test if water is pue is if it doesn't conduct electricity at all. Tap water or other water has other substances in it such as ions that can conduct electricity. One other way to test if water is quite pure is if it has less than 10ppm (parts per million) of impurities in it, spring water is around 25-50ppm. This can be tested with some special equipment


Air is primarily composed of nitrogen and oxygen gases which state of these gases can conduct electricity?

These gases are not conductive.


Are all liquids conductors of electricity?

Noand yes! In solids there are several Forms, what are they?Pure MetalsSaltsCovalent compoundsand etc,.Take in case of pure metals; they have free or extra electrons which they want to give away to attain more stability; these free electrons conducts electricity quicker in solid state than in liquid state.Eg: Fe, Cu, ET ALBut in the case of salts it is vice versa. in liquid or dissolved state the salts split in ions which have separate + & - charges to conduct electricity . they called electrolyte when dissolved in in a solvent.Eg: Nacl, Hcl, NaOH, NH4OH, etc.Covalent compounds either in solid or liquid state they don't conduct electricity.Eg: Fe2O3, CuO, O2, CO2, etc,.In common only Metals and Crystalline solids conduct electricity according to their conducting properties.


Why is a dry air a poor conductor of electricity?

Little or no water content.

Does not conduct electricity well?

Materials that do not conduct electricity well are Insulating materials, or insulators. Examples include glass, rubber, plastic, air, ceramic, porcelain, dry paper and dry wood. Pure water will not conduct electricity at all.

Is dry air conductor or insulator?

Dry air is an insulator. it does not conduct electricity.


What are the conditions that could cause air to conduct electricity?

Moisture.


Objects that conduct electricity poorly are?

Objects that conduct electricity poorly are called poor conductors of electricity or insulators . There is a difference though. Poor conductors of electricity are capable of conduction under certain circumstances while insulators cannot conduct electricity under any condition, example ; air is a poor conductor of electricity as it cannot conduct under normal conditions but lightning is able to pass through it during a storm.


Name 2 items that will not conduct electricity?

Plastic, dry air


Is rain water conductive?

Rain water is not pure water. Rain water contains small amounts of ions as minerals and salt as well as pollutants. This means that it is a solution of ions, making it an electrolyte (conducts electricity).


What is thin polymer film?

A thin polymer film is a humidity sensor. So like the amount of water vapor the thin polymer film contains changes in the film's ability to conduct electricity and the film's ability to conduct electricity is affected by the relative humidity (the ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air to the amount of water vapor needed to reach saturation at a given temperature) of the surrounding air. Thus, by measuring the polymer film's ability to store electricity, relative humidity can be determined.


What sort of materials conduct electricity?

All metals (copper, etc.), dirty water, steam, talcum powder, skin, hair, trees, air, and many more.


What heats up quicker copper gold air or water?

Gold. Metals conduct heat (and electricity) very efficiently, and gold is a better conductor than copper is.


Why add salt to a warm mist humidifier?

The warm air humidifier works by using two electrodes to conduct electricity through the water in order to vaporize it. The electricity will not be conducted unless there are electrolytes in the water, which are provided by the Na+ and Cl- ions from the dissolved salt.
