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.

Does liquid conduct electricity well?
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
Which type of liquid is the best conductor of 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.
What conducts electricity when mixed with water?
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.
Is any pure liquid a conductor of electricity?
All solutions that contain ions are good conductors of electricity, such as: acids, bases, salt water. Dschennai
Is cold water best conductor of electricity?
No, but impure is a good conductor of electricity.

Does water conduct electricity well?
Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.

Is water a better conductor of electricity then silver?
no, water is NOT a better conductor of electricity then silver

What is the best conductor of electricity between air water wood and glass?
water is the best conductor of electricity, compare to air the atoms in water is more closely to each other and that makes water more conductive than air, glass can be conductor it depends on it composition but not as good as water and wood is not a conductor unless it's wet.
Is cold water best conductor of electricity?
No, but impure is a good conductor of electricity.

Why water conducts good electricity?
Water is a poor conductor of electricity. However, the presence of ions in water make the solution a good conductor of electricity.
What are the most dangerous places to be with electricity?
The most dangerous place to be when electricity is present is in direct contact with a charged conductor. The next most dangerous place is where there is liquid water and electricity.
Why does lightning strike near water?
Lightning strikes strike near water because water is a good conductor of electricity. Most lightning strikes happen by the ocean because the salt makes it an even better conductor at electricity than fresh water.
Why do covalent bonds in a liquid state conduct electricity?
liquid is a conductor. Liquid (e.g. water) is polar therefore have one side positively charged and one negatively charged :)
