No - it is not.
For something to conduct electricity, it must have atoms or molecules inside it which are charged (so that they can carry the current from one side to the other). Water has no charged molecules. H20 is neutral (although occasionally it can ionise, but we can ignore that). And so it will only conduct if something charged is dissolved in it (for example table salt).
Hope this helps.
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. However, water can conduct electricity if it contains impurities or if it has a high concentration of ions. Distilled water and pure water do not conduct electricity well.
Pure distilled water is not a good conductor of electricity. It is the impurities in water (usually salts) that conduct electricity. In fact, the conductivity of a sample of water can be used to measure the concentration of salts in the water sample.
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 water is a very good conductor of electricity, that is why you are not supposed to take a shower in a lightning storm.
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 a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.
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.
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 is NOT magnetic, a poor conductor of electricity, but good in sound and heat.
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.
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, 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.

waterWater is the best conductor, but not in its most pure form. Pure water or H2O does not conduct electricity well at all. But, many substances dissolve in water. In fact it is known as the "universal solvent". Because of this, water found in nature and in use is rarely pure and will conduct electricity rather well.So, it is the many dissolved compounds in water, not the water itself that conducts electricity well.But normally yes, water it the best liquid conductor.

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.
