What state is magnesium chloride at room temperature?
Magnesium chloride is a solid at room temperature.
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.
How can xenon achieve stable octet?
In its ground state it does have a stable octet.
Does xenon gain or lose electrons to be a stable octet?
Neither. It has a stable octet in its ground state.
Does magnesium chloride dissociate into ions in water?
yes because because all the chemail si in it have sunk so yes From the nerd

What is the ionic formula of nitrogen and magnesium?
Magnesium is group II and has two valance electrons to donate to achieve the octet state. Nitrogen has 5 valance electrons so it accepts 3 into its outer shell to make an octet. So Mg3N2

What is the state of Magnesium phosphate?
Magnesium phosphate is a solid.
How many does the atoms electrons in their outer shells does the Octet Rule state they need?
8 electrons and yes, the Octet rule states this
What is the name of molten magnesium?
Molten magnesium is still metallic magnesium. It is in liquid state.
What state of matter is the silver chloride in?
Silver Chloride is a solid state of matter
What is the state of matter of Magnesium element?
Magnesium is a solid metal
Do ions have an unusual number of electrons?
Cations donate electrons from their valance shell, have less, to reach their octet state. Anions accept electrons into their valance shell, have more, to reach their octet state.
