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.

No. Mercury is actually rather conductive, being a metal.


What type of substance is conductive when dissolved in water?

These are ionic compounds dissociated in water.


Does a higher number of conducitvity mean is conductive?

Yes, the higher the conductivity concentration the higher the conductivity value in the material. Some times the conductive particles are surrounded with insulating materials which cut the conductive paths between the electrodes and as a result it stops the increase in the conductivity values to a certain limit according to the structure (texture) in the material.

What are the differences between conductive and nonconductive substance?

Conductive substances allow the flow of electricity due to their ability to carry an electric current, whereas nonconductive substances do not allow the flow of electricity. Conductive substances typically have free-moving electrons, while nonconductive substances have tightly bound electrons that do not facilitate the movement of electric charges.

Are drinking straws electrically conductive?

Most drinking straws are made of plastic, which is generally not electrically conductive. However, paper straws may contain additives or coatings that could potentially make them conductive. It is always a good idea to exercise caution when using any materials near electrical sources.
