O MgO(s) consists of separate Mg2* and O2 ions held in a fixed lattice, but in MgO() the ions are free to move, and can therefore conduct electricity. MgO(s) contains molecules, but MgO(1) consists of a fixed lattice of Mg2+ and O2- ions that can conduct electricity. MgO(s) does not contain free electrons, but MgO(1) contains free electrons that can flow. MgO(s) consists of separate Mg2* and O2 ions, but MgO(1) contains molecules that can conduct electricity. MgO(s) does not contain water, but MgO(0) contains water that can conduct electricity.

fixed lattice of Mg2+ and O2- ions that can conduct
electricity.
MgO(s) does not contain free electrons, but MgO(1)
contains free electrons that can flow.
MgO(s) consists of separate Mg2* and O2 ions, but
MgO(1) contains molecules that can conduct electricity.
MgO(s) does not contain water, but MgO(0) contains
water that can conduct electricity.
