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,

Vinegar is good or bad conductor?

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.


Is iron a poor conductor of electricity?

since iron is a metal and most metals are good conductors of electricity one can assume that iron is a fair conductor of electricity. The electrical conductivity of iron is approx. 1/6 from the electrical conductivity of silver (the best known conductor).
