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,

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.
Pure water, that is to say without any other substances, actually does not conduct electricity. Water with impurities, on the other hand, does conduct electricity. Since water is usually impure, common water conducts electricity.
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.
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).
