Water itself does not conduct electricity. However, when ionic particles like salts dissolve in water, the cation (such as Sodium) and anion (such as Chloride) separate. These different ions carry different charges (since the Sodium gave one negatively charged electron to the chloride in order for the two to be stable). When these charged particles are present in water, an electric current applied to it can have the electrons flowing through the water via those particles, thus completing the circuit and conducting electricity.
Distilled water has been purified so no dissolved particles exist in it, so there is nothing that can conduct the electricity.
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
No. Salt water is a conductor but not a superconductor.
Substances that Don't have the capacity to carry heat
Wood is a poor conductor(non-electrolyte) because it doesn't have free moving ions to conduct the electricity.
well, i think both would be correct, though a "bad conductor of heat" would be better. Or you could say "insulator for heat" or simply insulator....
Distilled water is a bad conductor. Dirty water, or water with impurities added, is a good conductor. It is not the water that matters, but the impurities.

At a high enough voltage, everything is an electrical conductor. Pure water is an exceptionally bad electrical conductor, though.
in real, pure distilled water is a bad conductor of electricity.but if the water contains some amount of salt then it conducts to some extent.
Rain water will be fine, you should not put destilled water into the frogs tank because this is harmful to the frog.
Water is a bad conductor of heat.salt has a slightly high boiling point
Water is a good conductor of heat because the hydrogen bonds between water molecules allow heat energy to be transferred efficiently. However, compared to metals, water is not as good of a conductor of heat because it has lower thermal conductivity.
is water conductor or insulator
There are many liquids which are very bad conductors of electricity. these are basicall the type which are covalent in nature. examples: 1.)carbon tetrachloride, 2.)Benzene etc etc other organic fluids (fats etc) even pure water( i.e absolutely pure no impurity no contamination) is a good insulator.
glass, ceramic,diamond, are somtricitytte of the conductor of hear but bad conductor of electricity meher n sethna
Water is a good conductor of heat due to its high specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity. This means that water can effectively transfer heat energy from one point to another. This property makes water useful for moderating temperature changes in various systems.
electricity! Because it is a non-metal
