It contains free electrons.
Electricity is conducted by electrons.
In liquids there are higher free electron contents than other so it is good conductor than other.

Is zinc an good or bad conductor of electricity?
zinc is a good conductor of electricity
What are some ways a material's electrical resistance is used to accomplish a certain job?
A good example of electrical resistance is the heating element on a stove top it is a very poor conductor (high electrical resistance) because it is a poor conductor the electrical energy is converted to heat. Glass is one of the best insulators because its electrical resistance is so high it is a non conductor this lets us use it on high power lines to keep the electricity from coming in contact with the ground.
What is skin effect?
<center> # 2 If the conductor is composed of one or more concentric circular elements, then the center portion of the conductor will be enveloped by a greater magnetic flux than those on the outside. Consequently the self induced back-emf will be greater towards the center of the conductor, thus causing the current density to be less at the center than the conductor surface. This extra concentration at the surface is known as skin effect, and results in an increase in the effective resistance of the conductor.
What are some of physical media that ethernet can run over?
d
Advantage and disadvantage of corona of transmission line?
advantages:due to corona formation the sir surrounding the conductor becomes the conducting and hence virtual dimeter of the conductor is increased.
Does liquid conduct electricity well?
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
What is a good conductor of heat in liquid?
mercury
What solids are good conductors?
All metals are solids and good conductors apart from Mercury which is a liquid but is a good conductor.
Is liquid a poor electrical conductor true or false?
Liquid is one of the 3 (or 4) states of matter: Gas, liquid, and solid. Being a liquid really has nothing to do with its conductivity. Example: Pure water is not a good conductor. Pure mercury in liquid form is a really good conductor. The Fourth state of matter is considered to be Plasma.
Why is liquid mercury a good electrical conductor?
It is a metallic element
Is ionic a good conductor of electricity in both a solid and liquid phases?
no
Why is the human body a good electricity conductor?
The human body has liquid, with dissolved ions.
Are liquid conductors or insulators?
This is dependent on the amount of particles in the liquid. Dirty or Salt water is a conductor but not as effective as other materials. If the liquid contains minimal particles, for example pure water, it is considered a poor conductor and consequently a good insulator.
Is sodium chloride liquid the best conductor of electricity?
Liquid sodium chloride is a conductor but not the best.
Does the type of container hot liqid is placed in effect how hot it stays?
the temperature of a liquid in a container depends upon whether it is a good or a bad conductor of heat. a good conductor takes up most of the heat of the liquid (process of thermal equilibrium) while bad conductor does not absorb heat very quickly
Are all insulators and conductors solids?
No, most gases are good insulators. Fluids can be good conductors. Mercury is normally a liquid and is a good conductor.
Is milk a good conductor of heat?
Yes plants are the very good conductors of heat.
