  • Conductivity Comparison: Copper Salt Water vs. Mercury - Which is Least Conductive?
    Here's the breakdown of conductivity for each material, from least to most conductive:

    * Glass: Glass is an excellent insulator, meaning it is extremely poor at conducting electricity.

    * Salt Water: Salt water is a good conductor of electricity. The dissolved salt ions allow for the flow of electrical charge.

    * Copper: Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity. It's commonly used in wiring due to its high conductivity.

    * Mercury: Mercury is a liquid metal and a very good conductor of electricity.

    Therefore, the least conductive material out of those listed is glass.
