Is Distilled water is conductor?

Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity because it lacks ions and impurities that are needed for the conduction of electric current. Pure water molecules do not dissociate to form ions easily, making it a non-conductor of electricity.


Is water is a bad conductor of electricity?

Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity because it exists in solution as electrically neutral molecules. the molecules carry no electric charge and there are no ions in solution to carry charges. Hope this helps, physicsisland@hotmail.com


Is water a conductor water or an insulator?

It depends. Pure water do not conduct electric current; on the other hand, we consider tap and river water as a conductor because of the ions of the decomposed materials in the water. Water transmits electricity, heat, and sound very well, so it is a conductor. An insulator would not transmit electricity, heat, or sound well.


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.


Does water conduct electricity well?

Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.


Can water conduct electricity?

Yes water is a very good conductor of electricity, that is why you are not supposed to take a shower in a lightning storm.


What is the electrical conductivity of pure water?

Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity because it contains very few ions. This means that it has low electrical conductivity.


Can water fog conduct electricity?

No, for several reasons. It's too diffuse. It's "pure" water (and pure water is a lousy conductor).


What is electric charge conducted by?

There are two methods of conducting electric charge. Metals conduct electricity because the metallic bond creates a cloud of shared electrons which are highly mobile within the metal. Electrically charged ions can also conduct electricity, so for example, salty water is a good conductor, although pure water is a poor conductor (pure water does contain ions, both H+ and OH-, but in very low concentration).


Is pure water an electrolyte?

Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity. It contains very few ions and therefore has a low electrical conductivity, making it a weak electrolyte.


Why is pure water a bad conductor of water?

Pure water is a bad conductor of electricity because it has a very low concentration of ions, which are necessary for electricity to pass through a substance. In pure water, there are very few free ions available to facilitate the flow of electrical current. The presence of impurities or dissolved substances in water increase its conductivity.


Why is water a very weak electric conductor?

the number of charged particles moving around in solution is very, very small. water is undergoing self-ionization.
