properties of sea/salt water are,
1. things are more buoyant because of the salt content.
2. it conducts electricity better because it is an ionic solution.

Sea water has salts dissolved in it which enables it to conduct electricity.
Water (the pure H20) is not a conductor. The only thing that makes water appear to be a conductor are the stuff dissolved in it.
And yeah, it's easier to float on sea water.

Salt water has a lower freezing point which is why it is spread in the roads during snowstorms.

sea water has salt in it and therefore you cannot drink it---you can drink regular water, assuming it is clean/purified
