Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound and thus does not conduct electricity in its solid state because there are no delocalised electrons due to its ionic lattice structure. However when in its molten state, or dissolved in water tom form ions, it can conduct electricity as electrons can easily flow through.

The electrical conductivity of magnesium oxide is low due to its ionic nature. In its solid state, magnesium oxide does not conduct electricity well as the ions are held in a fixed position. However, at high temperatures, magnesium oxide can conduct electricity to some extent due to the migration of ions.

The Thermal conductivity of AZ91D magnesium (a die-casting alloy) is 25 µ m/m °K.

Electrical resistivity (not conductivity) for the same is 35.8% IACS @ 22°C.

Magnesium is not electrically conductive, but since it is a metal, it conducts heat.
