because it doesn't have any ions.

having ions is the only way to transport electricity(in a solution)
except metals etc

Is distilled water a good insulator?

Distilled water is not a good insulator as it still contains some ions that can conduct electricity. It has a low conductivity compared to tap water but is not a perfect insulator.


Why pure water is considered as insulator?

Yes! Pure distilled water is an insulator. it is the minerals, alkali's and acids in the contaminates that determine the resistivity of water!


Is distilled water is the best conductor of eletricity?

no! its a insulator


What is the best insulator of electricity copper aluminum distilled water or tap water?

Distilled water is the best insulator of electricity among the options provided. This is because it is a pure form of water without any impurities or minerals that can conduct electricity. Copper and aluminum are conductive materials, while tap water contains impurities that can make it conductive.


Is plain water a conductor or insulator?

Plain distilled (or double distilled) water with no impurities is a poor conductor of electricity. The more impurities it has the better conductor it becomes


Why does current flow through impure water and not through pure distilled water?

Water is actually an insulator and does not pass electricity well, the minerals within the water are what actually conduct the current and thus in distilled water there is no conduction


Is distilled water an insulator or conductor?

Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity because it lacks dissolved ions or impurities that can carry an electric current. However, it can become a conductor if impurities are added to the water.


Do you put distilled water in a gel battery?

No,, distilled water is not used in a gel battery. The sulfuric acid is mixed with silica fume rather than distilled water. This is what makes the gel.


Does saline water conduct electricity?

Yes, saline water conducts electricitywhile distilled water is almost an insulator, salt water is a very efficient electrical conductor.


Is water an insulator or conductor?

Water is a poor conductor of electricity due to the low concentration of ions present in it. However, impurities or dissolved minerals in water can increase its conductivity to some extent. Generally, water is considered more as an insulator than a conductor compared to metals or salts.


Is distilled water an electroly te?

Strangely enough, water itself won't conduct electricity. It's all the salts and impurities that are in naturally occurring water that do the conduction. IF your distilled water was made in a glass still, and it's kept in either glass or plastic containers, it won't conduct electricity.This doesn't mean distilled water is a good insulator; water does everything it can to pick up anything that will make it conductive.


What makes a nail rust in distilled water?

The dissolved oxygen in the water reacts with the nail to form rust.
