Does 1 mole of sodium chloride and 1 mole of magnesium chloride has same number of ions?

No: Each "mole", more precisely called "formula mass", of sodium chloride contains two ions, as shown by its formula NaCl, but each formula mass of magnesium chloride has three ions as shown by its formula MgCl2. This is true because sodium cations have only one positive electric charge unit, magnesium cations have two electric charge units, and chloride ions have one negative electric charge unit each.

Why does molten sodium chloride conduct electricity but crystalline magnesium chloride does not?
In the molten state the ions of sodium chloride are free to move. Magnesium chloride would also conduct if it were molten. Since the ions of the magnesium chloride are bound together in the crystal lattice they cannot carry a current.
What are the six ions in seawater?
The four MAIN IONS in seawater in descending order of abundance are: CI: Chloride Na: Sodium SO4: Sulfate Mg: magnesium Found in Leckie-Yuretich: Investigating the Ocean, Page 114, Seawater Salinity: The salt of the Ocean
Sodium chloride is formed from ions and chloride?
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
Does sodium ions plus chloride ions equal sodium chloride?
Yes, sodium chloride is NaCl.
Which is formula for the compound made when magnesium ions and chloride ions are mixed?
MgCl2 (Magnesium Chloride)
What are the ions in sodium chloride solution?
Na+ (sodium ions) and Cl- (chloride ions). (There are also a small number of dissociated H+ and OH- ions as well)
Describe the structure of sodium chloride and magnesium oxide as solids?
Ionic Configuration. Each Sodium ion in contact with six other chloride ions and vice versa. Same with Magnesium Oxide. Both form a cuboid structure.
Is Magnesium chloride in foods?
Yes. Both magnesium ions and chloride ions are present in essentially all foods.
How can you describe the arrangement of sodium ions and chloride ions in a crystal of sodium ions?
The lattice of sodium chloride is face-centered cubic. The chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium cations.
How does the strength of the attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions compare with the strength of the attraction between the sodium ions and chloride ions?
Attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions OSS less than the attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions.
What is the name of the salt when you mix hydrochloric acid and magnesium hydroxide?
The products formed are magnesium chloride and water.
Why will molten Sodium Chloride undergo electrolysis?
Molten sodium chloride consists of sodium ions and chloride ions and is therefore a conductor of electricity- and can be electrlysed.
