the chemical in which an electrical current can pass through have to have ionic bonds holding its components together. Salt water is the simplest example of this. it is highly polar with its sodium and chlorine ions freely floating in the water and water itself is very polar with the large oxygen molecule delivering equal charge in opposition to the hydrogens so all the little molecules in salt water line right up like iron in a magnet

What is a substance that conducts an electric current when dissolved in water or when melted?

An example of a substance that conducts an electric current when dissolved in water or when melted is an ionic compound such as table salt (sodium chloride). Ionic compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved in water or melted, allowing charged particles to move and carry an electric current.

What liquid conducts electricity well?

Water containing dissolved ions or impurities conducts electricity well. This is because the ions in the water carry electric current. Pure water, without ions, does not conduct electricity well.

When water conducts electricity does it generate energy?

No, just the opposite. In making the trip through the water, the electric current uses up some of its energy. That will show up either as a heating of the water (think of an ordinary old-fashioned vaporizer), or as some chemical activity in the solution (decomposition of the molecules in the solution, electroplating, etc.).
