Salt in solution improves conductivity but it does not make a conductor as good as a metal.
Deionized water has an electrical conductivity of 5,5 * 10-6 [S*m-1] but Seawater (3,5% salt in solution) has a conductivity of 4,8 [S*m-1] compared to
Sliver with a conductivity of 6,3 * 107 [S*m-1] (the best known at room temperature)

What is a Good conductor of electricity when mixed with water?
Salt (sodium chloride) is a good conductor of electricity when mixed with water because it dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in the water, allowing the flow of electricity through the solution.
Is saltwater a conductor?
Yes, saltwater is a conductor of electricity. The amount of conductivity depends on the amount of salt dissolved in the solution. The greater the salt, or other impurities, the greater the conductivity. Pure water, which can only be achieved in a closed loop in laboratory conditions does not conduct electricity. Even exposing pure water to the atmosphere allows impurities into the water, and it is the impurities that actually conduct 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 salt water a better conductor of electricity than aluminum foil and brass?
Salt water is a better conductor of electricity than aluminum foil and brass because it contains ions that can carry electric current more effectively. Aluminum foil and brass are metals, which are also good conductors but not as efficient as a solution with dissolved ions like salt water. This is why salt water is often used in experiments or demonstrations involving electricity.
Is sodium bromide a conductor?
molten or in solution YES - in its natural form - no
Is sugar solution a good conductor?
no salt solution is the conductor of electricity as sugar doesn't have as great an ionization as table salt
Is salt a conductor?
Sodium chloride is an electrical conductor only in solution or when is melted.
Why can a solution of salt water conduct electricity but a solid salt cannot?
Water is a better conductor.
Why does salt water is good conductor of electricity?
Salt water is a good conductor of electricity because it contains ions - charged particles - from the dissolved salt. These ions allow electric current to flow through the water by carrying the charge. The presence of ions in the solution makes it easier for electricity to transfer from one electrode to another.
What is a Good conductor of electricity when mixed with water?
Salt (sodium chloride) is a good conductor of electricity when mixed with water because it dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in the water, allowing the flow of electricity through the solution.
Is salt water a good conductor of electricity?
Yes
Is salt that is dissolved in water a good conductor of electricity?
No
Is salt solution a conductor or insulator of electricity?
A salt solution in water is a conductor, due to the disassociation of the salt molecules into oppositely charged ions in the presence of the polar water molecules. A salt solution in a nonpolar solvent would likely be an insulator, as the salt molecules probably would not dissociate.
Is salt a conductor or an insulator?
salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current
Is salt itself a conductor of electricity?
In molten form a salt itself is a conductor of electricity.
What is a good conductor that is mostly made of water?
A salt solution.
Is salt an conductor?
Yes, pure salt is not a good conductor of electricity because it consists of ions that are tightly bound together. However, when salt is dissolved in water, it forms ions that can conduct electricity.
