Air, or some other gas, if you really want to get specific. Pure water is the least conductive substance. It is actually used as an electrical insulator by technology labs. The reason it is not widely used is that it is very expensive to produce. It is only the impurities in water that allows electricity to be conducted through it.

Is iron conductive?
iron is very conductive like steel, nickel, and cobalt
Is oil conductive?
no
Are blue diamonds electricaly conductive?
Yes
What material through which electricity does not flow is called an?
Insulator, or insulation, or non-conductive material. Wood, plastic and ceramic are examples of non-conductive material often used as insulators.
What is a material that electricity can flow through called?
Electricity can pass through a wide verity of material that are conductive.
Is Mercury least conductive?
No. Mercury is actually rather conductive, being a metal.
Is brass least conductive?
no, rubber is
What type of substance is conductive when dissolved in water?
These are ionic compounds dissociated in water.
Are drinking straws electrically conductive?
That depends on the substance of which the device is fabricated. If it's made of metal, then your metal straw is electrically conductive. If it's glass or paper, then it isn't.
What substance will make freshwater conductive?
The addition of any ionic salt (even small quantities)
What are electrolyets?
an electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that behaves as an electrically conductive medium.
If a substance can conduct electricity and has neutral pH what kid of substance is it?
Sodium chloride, NaCl, for example is of neutral pH and conductive in solution or in molten state. It is a salt.
What would be least conductive cooper salt water glass or mercury?
Glass
What is the least thermally conductive material?
Lack of any media like vacuum
Which of the following in and of itself is LEAST likely to cause political violence directly?
the condition of poverty
Why are the conductivities different?
A solution which contains ions is conductive, since the ions are electrically charged and can respond to a voltage. A solution which does not contain ions, but instead has intact molecules (such as sugar, to give a common example) is not very conductive. Of course, water always contains at least a small amount of ions since water itself dissociates into H+ and OH- ions, at least to a slight degree, so water is always at least mildly conductive. There are other solvents and other solutions which are entirely non-conductive.
Is iodine conductive?
No, it is not conductive.
