At a high enough voltage, everything is an electrical conductor. Pure water is an exceptionally bad electrical conductor, though.

Is pure water is alkali?
No,pure water is not alkali.Pure water is neutral.
Why tungsten glows?
tungsten is a poor conductor of electricity,tungsten glows when electrical energy from the energy source is flowing through the conductor of electricity and when electrical energy reach the metal filament(tungsten) the tungsten gets electrical energy and produce heat when it became white-hot and the tungsten glows the glows is called light.
Is beryllium a good conductor of electricity?
Thermal conductivity of beryllium: 190 W/m.K Electrical resistivity of beryllium: 4.10-8 ohm.meter
Is pottery an insulator or a conductor?
Pottery is an insulator. Both electrical and thermal. However earthenware (low fired clays like brick) can be porous (liquids can penetrate it) and if the liquid is an electolyte (like salt water), certain electrical conduction can take place.
Does temperature affect water quality?
It does not affect the quality of pure water. However, if the water is exposed to the atmosphere it will get bacteria in it and their growth will be affected by the temperature.
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.
Does conduction happen in fluids?
Guessing you mean electrical conduction. Yes, liquids can conduct electricity. Pure water is a poor conductor, water with impurities like salt water is an EXCELLENT conductor.
Is pure water is a conductor or insulator?
pure water is an insulator.
Is sodium a conductor or insulator?
Pure sodium is a metal, and is an electrical conductorlike other metals.
Will water conduct eletricity?
Water does conduct electricty, which is why it is dangerous to use electrical items in a bathroom. Absolutely pure water is not a very good conductor, but any water you're likely to be around outside a chemistry lab is not all that pure.
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.
Is sodium an electrical conductor?
Sodium in its pure form (as opposed to a compound such as sodium chloride) is a metal, and like all metals is an excellent electrical conductor.
why water electrical conductors?
Pure water by itself is not much of an electrical conductor. You can increase the ability of water to conduct electricity by adding a substance such as a salt that dissolves in water, separating into positive and negative ions. The ions in the water are able to conduct/transfer electrons maintaining an electrical circuit through the water.
Which type of water is best conductor electricity?
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.
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 iron a poor conductor of electricity?
since iron is a metal and most metals are good conductors of electricity one can assume that iron is a fair conductor of electricity. The electrical conductivity of iron is approx. 1/6 from the electrical conductivity of silver (the best known conductor).
