An ionic compound, such as magnesium chloride, has no overall charge in its solid state and does not conduct electricity.

∙ 14y agoMagnesium is highly explosive, electricity is created through heat (either that or electricity creates heat, can't remember which). While a trail of magnesium could conduct the electricity rather quickly, it can only be used once, because the heat enflames the magnesium. Also, as of yet, we are unable to capture the energy through such a method.

Is magnesium a insulator?
yes
What is the worst conductor of electricity among all metals?
tin, copper, rubber, air, water
Is iron a conductor of electricity?
yes;very good conductor of electricity.
Why is magnesium oxide a good conductor?
Magnesium oxide is an electrical insulator.
Is terelyne a good conductor of electricity?
No, terylene is not a very good conductor of electricity.
What is the worst conductor of electricity?
The last time I checked the worst conductor of electricity is rubber.
Tell the best and worst conductor of electricity?
The worst conductor would be rubber and the best metallic conductor would be silver
Is magnesium a insulator?
yes
What is the type of bonding for magnesium chloride?
magnesium chloride is a non- conductor electricity
Can magnesium conduct heat?
No, magnesium is not a good electrical conductor.
Is Magnesium oxide a good conductor of electric?
Only when melted or dissolved in a polar solvent.
What is the worst conductor of electricity and why?
I believe that rubber is the worst conductor of electricity. Rubber is amorphous. The atoms within the rubber are not aligned in any particular order, so electrons do not move between them easily. In fact, rubber is used to protect against being shocked by electricity, by having wires be covered by the rubber.
What is the worst conductor of electricity among all metals?
tin, copper, rubber, air, water
Is magnesium oxide a good conductor?
yes. magnesium oxide is a good conductor . It ionise to give magnesium and oxygen ions.
How can you tell that magnesium is a metal?
Magnesium shows metallic qualities. It is a good conductor of electricity and heat. It is ductile and malleable. It reacts with acids to give the corresponding salts with evolving gaseous hydrogen.
Is Magnesium Chloride a good conductor?
Magnesium chloride is a good conductor if melted or dissolved in an ionization promoting solvent; as a solid it is not a good conductor.
Can a bar magnet conduct electricity?
It depends what it is made of. If it has silver, gold, iron, copper, magnesium, nickel, or and other metal that is a conductor in it. It probably can because most magnets have traces of iron and magnesium.
