Ocean water would conduct electricity well because of many factors. First, water itself is a fairly good conductor because its electrons are "free moving," meaning that the electrons' bonds are looser and this allows water to carry a charge. Furthermore, ocean water has salt, which gives water a lower boiling rate and there is a direct relationship between a substance's conductivity of temperature and electricity. Simply put, ocean water conducts electricity well because it is salty.

Does bleach conduct electricity?

Chlorine is a non-metal. Therefore it does not conduct electricity. Only metals conduct electricity. Metalloid's also conduct electricity.The normal form of Chlorine is a diatomic gas (Cl2).Gasses do not conduct electricity under normal conditions.(High voltages can ionize gasses, making them conductive.)


Which of thw following would conduct electricity when mixed with water?

Substances that conduct electricity when mixed with water are called electrolytes. Common examples include salts (like sodium chloride), acids (like hydrochloric acid), and bases (like sodium hydroxide). When these compounds dissolve in water, they dissociate into ions, allowing the solution to conduct electricity. Non-electrolytes, such as sugar, do not dissociate into ions and therefore do not conduct electricity in water.
