It contains few ions. Dirty water conducts electricity very well. Or Salt water. Pure water has no solutes and lacks ions usually associated with solutes.

What liquid makes water a bad conductor of electricity?
There are many liquids which are very bad conductors of electricity. these are basicall the type which are covalent in nature. examples: 1.)carbon tetrachloride, 2.)Benzene etc etc other organic fluids (fats etc) even pure water( i.e absolutely pure no impurity no contamination) is a good insulator.
Is water a conductor of electricty?
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.
Which is a poor conductor tap water or pure water?
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity because of the lack of ions. You need ions (electrically charged particles) to propagate the charge through the water. Both tap and pure water are poor conductors of heat.
Is pure water a conductor or a non-conductor?
100% Pure water is not a conductor (insulator) However, please remember, minerals in not 100% pure water are conductors and there are about 10 million minerals in 1 cup of water. It can electrify you. So becareful.
Is ocean water a conductor or a insulator?
Water is an electricity conductor because: - extremely pure water is difficult to obtain and store - hydrolysis of water lead to ions H+ and OH-
Is pure water an electrical conductor?
At a high enough voltage, everything is an electrical conductor. Pure water is an exceptionally bad electrical conductor, though.
Why Is distill water a good conductor of electricity?
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.
Is pure water is a conductor or insulator?
pure water is an insulator.
Is water an insulator or conductor?
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.
What liquid makes water a bad conductor of electricity?
There are many liquids which are very bad conductors of electricity. these are basicall the type which are covalent in nature. examples: 1.)carbon tetrachloride, 2.)Benzene etc etc other organic fluids (fats etc) even pure water( i.e absolutely pure no impurity no contamination) is a good insulator.
Is water a insulator o a conductor?
"Pure water" is an insulator, but real water has impurities which if ionized make it a conductor.
Is water a conductor or non conductor?
100% Pure water is not a conductor (insulator) However, please remember, minerals in not 100% pure water are conductors and there are about 10 million minerals in 1 cup of water. It can electrify you. So becareful.
Is water bad conductor?
Pure water, consisting of only h2o molecules is a very weak, if at all, conductor of electricity. However, if it is not purified, or if there is something else in it, like say, your hand, it becomes highly conductive.
Is water a conductor of electricty?
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.
How would you classify water as an electrical conductor?
Pure water is a insulator, however if there are ions in the water it becomes an excellent conductor.
Why is water a conductor?
Pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; but most natural water has some ions, that help conductivity.
Is water a good conductor of heat or bad?
Water is a good conductor of heat.
