What is the type of bonding for magnesium chloride?

Magnesium chloride has ionic bonding. Magnesium donates electrons to chlorine atoms, resulting in the formation of positively charged magnesium ions and negatively charged chloride ions, which are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.

Why is Beryllium chloride is a poor electrical conductor when molten while the next Group 2 chloride magnesium chloride is a good electrical conductor when molten?

Beryllium has a higher charge density and polarising power due to its relatively small ionic radius as compared to Magnesium. As such, the electron cloud of Chlorine is distorted and there is a high degree of covalent character in the ionic bond as compared to Magnesium Chloride. This means that there are hardly any free delocalised electrons in Beryllium Chloride to act as mobile charge carriers when molten, and hence the poor electrical conductivity.

Is calcium chloride a good conductor of electricity?

Yes, calcium chloride is a good conductor of electricity when dissolved in water. The dissolved ions in calcium chloride allow the flow of electric current through the solution. However, solid calcium chloride is not a good conductor of electricity because it does not contain free-moving ions.
