Pure water is NOT a good conductor because it has very few ions in it. However if you add a little salt to the water it does become a good conductor as the salt provides the ions required to conduct electricity.

∙ 11y agoNo, water is not a good conductor. Instead of that it is an insulator. This is because water (H2O) is an ionic bond which mostly don't conduct electricity.
The confusion arises since in drinking water different salts are dissolved which dissociate into ions in water which are good conductors. For instance, NaCl(common salt) dissociate into Na+ and Cl-.

∙ 14y agoType your answer here... Water itself is not a conductor of electricity. In order for a substance to carry charge, two conditions must first be met:
- There must be charged particles within the substance (either ions or electrons) and
- These particles must be free to move It is true that in water (H2O) the discrete molecules are free to move, however, they carry no charge.
The only reason water can sometimes conduct electricity is because of the minerals (metallic solids) already present in the water.

Explain the effect in stability in ships when tank is partially filled with liquid?
It makes the ships center of gravity sink lower in the water. This makes the ship more stable by making it less top heavy and by displacing more water. It gives it a larger base. Hooweestik.
