Absolutely pure water is not a good conductor. However, water is seldom pure and has stuff dissolved in it. In these circumstances water does conduct electricity quite well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yes,but water itself contains 1*10-7 mol/Liter positivly charged H+ and the same amount of negativly charged HO- (ph 7) leading to a conductivity of aprocimatly 0,055 µSiemens/cm (18,2 MOhm )for pure Water at 25 °C (compared with rainwater 35 - 100 µSiemens/cm dependent on Air Polution, River (Rhein Germany ) 300 - 745 µSiemens/cm ,Sea 42 000µSiemens/cm.Therefore i conclude that this is partially correct,depending on variables.
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
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.
No, but impure is a good conductor of electricity.
A metal boat would float on water and be a conductor of electricity.
Water is a weak conductor of electricity because it contains ions and impurities that can carry electric current. Pure water, however, is a poor conductor due to its low ion concentration.
electricity! Because it is a non-metal
glass, ceramic,diamond, are somtricitytte of the conductor of hear but bad conductor of electricity meher n sethna
zinc is a good conductor of electricity
no, water is NOT a better conductor of electricity then silver

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.

Water is a poor conductor of electricity. However, the presence of ions in water make the solution a good conductor of electricity.
insulator
Vinegar is a poor conductor of electricity because it does not contain free ions that can carry an electric current. It is primarily composed of water and acetic acid, which are not conducive to conducting electricity.
