No. It becomes a much better conductor if you drop in a bit of some ionic substance
you may happen to have around the house, such as salt or sulfuric acid.
Water is a poor conductor of electricity due to the low concentration of ions present in it. However, impurities or dissolved minerals in water can increase its conductivity to some extent. Generally, water is considered more as an insulator than a conductor compared to metals or salts.
"Pure water" is an insulator, but real water has impurities which if ionized make it a conductor.
Pure natural water is a poor conductor of electricity due to its low ion concentration. However, if the water contains impurities or minerals that increase its ion concentration, it can become a better conductor of electricity.
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity due to its low concentration of ions.
It is more about mineral content than the temperature of the water. The more minerals in the water the better a conductor, the less minerals then it conducts worse. Pure water doesn't conduct electricity at all.
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.
Water in general is a good conductor of electricity. Anything wet will therefore be a good conductor (this makes it dangerous to get certain things wet).Actually, pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; the fact that water usually IS a good conductor is due to diverse substances dissolved in water, such as salts - the ions make the water a good conductor.
Pure water hardly conducts electricity at all. You have to dissolve a lot of stuff in pure water to make it as good a conductor as the human body is.
pure water is an insulator.
Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity because it lacks ions and impurities that are needed for the conduction of electric current. Pure water molecules do not dissociate to form ions easily, making it a non-conductor of electricity.
At a high enough voltage, everything is an electrical conductor. Pure water is an exceptionally bad electrical conductor, though.
Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.
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 not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.Pure water is not a good conductor (of electricity) at all, but most real water contains some ions, which greatly increase its conductivity.
No. Pure water isn't a very good conductor, but it's not an insulator either. Water with dissolved minerals ranges from an indifferent to pretty decent conductor ... not as good as most metals, but not too shabby.

Very pure distilled water is a good conductor of heat but is not so good for electricity and it is not a metal. Oil is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity and it is not a metal. Teflon (a non-stick coating used on cooking pans) is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity and it is not a metal.
