Does bleach conduct electricity

Answer 1

Chlorine is a non-metal. Therefore it does not conduct electricity. Only metals conduct electricity. Metalloid's also conduct electricity.

The normal form of Chlorine is a diatomic gas (Cl2).
Gasses do not conduct electricity under normal conditions.
(High voltages can ionize gasses, making them conductive.)

Answer 2

yes it is a liquid so it would conduct electricity.

Yes it is a base so it would conduct electricity,

The first is wrong because water is also a liquid and it in its pure state will not conduct elctricity. Bases and Acids however do conduct electricity.

Answer 3

water is water .yes

(new person) actually, pure water can not conduct elctricity because it is the minerals in water that conducts electricity, not the water itself. As for bleach, i do not belive so as there is no minerals (as far as i know). to find out get a lightbulb circuit and cut a wire, dip the ends of the wire in the bleach water, if the lightbulb turns on the wate rconducts electricity. :)

Answer 4

Bleach is a poor conductor of electricity because it is primarily composed of water with some added chemicals. Water itself is a poor conductor of electricity, and the presence of bleach compounds further reduces its ability to conduct electric current.

Answer 5

Bleach is mostly composed of water, which is an excellent electrical conductor.

Answer 6

This solution is conductive.

Answer 7

I actually did the experiment last week and so I can say, "Yes, bleach water does conduct electricity." A liquid must contain free ions for it to be able to conduct an electrical current. And, because the lightbulb lit up when I tested the bleach water, the bleach water must have free ions or how would the lightbulb have lit up? So I would conclude that, "Yes, bleach water CAN conduct electricity.
