Answer:
Magnesium.has 2 free electrons and chlorine needs one electron to get nearest noble state.
So magnesium gives two electron to twonchlorines and forms magnesium chloride(MgCl2).
It conducts electricity because it contains ions and is a Ionic bond.

Explanation:
Magnisium chloride is an ionic compound and hence magnisium contains 2 electrons and chlorine contains 1 so by interchanging it forms the formula Mgcl2
Hence it is a ionic compound so it conducts electricity as it occurs in free state
