No.MgO has a giant ionic lattice structure with strong covalent bonds.for ionic compounds,they can only conduct electricity in aqueous or molten state because the giant ionic lattice structure had collapsed and ions are free to move about to conduct electricity.but in solid state,the ions will be held in fixed position and thus is unable to conduct electricity:)

∙ 8y agoA metal oxide has very low conductivity in solid form. This is due to the ionic bond between metal and oxygen ions which are very strong and do not allow the passage of electrons easily.But some metal oxides such as CrO2, TiO, ReO3 conduct electricity like metals, while VO, VO2, VO3 and TiO3 show metallic and insulating properties depending on temperature.

What is the normal phase of magnesium?
magnesium is a solid and normally it may get oxidised to form MgO
What happens when hydrochloric acid is added to solid magnesium oxide?
MgCl2 & H2O will form. MgO + 2 HCl ==> MgCl2 + H2O
