Question

which one of the following solution will not conduct electricity. 1 lemon juice. 2 vinegar. 3 tap water. 4 vegetable oil.

Answer 1

Answer:Vegetable Oil

Explanation

Answer 2

Vegetable oil is the solution which will not conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Vegetable oil is the solution which will not conduct electricity.

• Conduction of Electricity  requires free charges in a medium to carry the electrically charged particles.
• The conductivity of electricity entirely depends on the nature of the medium.
• Metals are very good conductors of electricity because they have unfilled valence electronic configuration.
• The other solutions mentioned in the question are conductors as they are charged solutions and are capable of carrying the electrically charged particles.
• Oil has no charge and hence will not conduct electricity.
• Vacuum is another example of uncharged space which does not conduct electricity and is a very good insulator.
