Best Answer

Conductivity of water is due by the capacity of every organic and mineral ion to conduct electricity.

As sodium ions and chlorine ions (composing the salt) are good conductors also minerals, salted water will have a better conductivity than drinking water.

Pure Water will not conduct electricy because of the lack of minerals ions.

Is a water a conductor or an insulator of electricity?

Pure water, that is to say without any other substances, actually does not conduct electricity. Water with impurities, on the other hand, does conduct electricity. Since water is usually impure, common water conducts electricity.

Can water be an electricity 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.
