It contains few ions. Dirty water conducts electricity very well. Or Salt water. Pure water has no solutes and lacks ions usually associated with solutes.
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.
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity because of the lack of ions. You need ions (electrically charged particles) to propagate the charge through the water. Both tap and pure water are poor conductors of heat.
Yes and no. Pure water, i.e. distilled or deionized, is a very poor conductor of electricity. However, in most cases water is not pure and has some amount of dissolved ions making it a good conductor.
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
100% Pure water is not a conductor (insulator) However, please remember, minerals in not 100% pure water are conductors and there are about 10 million minerals in 1 cup of water. It can electrify you. So becareful.
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.
pure water is an insulator.

"Pure water" is an insulator, but real water has impurities which if ionized make it a conductor.

Pure water, consisting of only h2o molecules is a very weak, if at all, conductor of electricity. However, if it is not purified, or if there is something else in it, like say, your hand, it becomes highly conductive.
Yes and no. Pure water, i.e. distilled or deionized, is a very poor conductor of electricity. However, in most cases water is not pure and has some amount of dissolved ions making it a good conductor.
Pure water is a insulator, however if there are ions in the water it becomes an excellent conductor.
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity due to its low concentration of ions.
