No, kerosene is not a good conductor of electricity.

Explanation:

  • Insulators are the substances which does not allow current or electricity to pass through it. For example, glass, paper, wood, pure mineral oils etc are all good insulators.
  • On the other hand, conductors are the substances which allow current or electricity to pass through it. For example, ionic compounds, metals, water etc are all good conductors of electricity.
  • All hydrocarbons are good insulators as they are covalent in nature and since kerosene is a pure mineral oil. Therefore, it does not let electricity to pass through it.
