magnesium having 2 valence electron and chlorine having 1 valence electron are interchanged with each other so the resultant compound is the MgCl2.
Magnesium is a metal, so it can conduct electricity, though not very well. It is bonded with a metallic bond, hence a sea of delocalised electrons surround the Magnesium ions - these electrons are why the metal can conduct electricity, because the motion of existing electrons is how current is formed.
