Magnesium is not a good conductor. Hence, the conductivity of magnesium is not good.
Magnesium is placed in group 2 of the periodic table. It has 2 valence electrons which are in the fully filled s-subshell. When the subshell is fully filled, the electrons are not available to move to conduct. For example, group 1 has half filled subshell which allows the electrons to move.
But, how does magnesium conduct? As its subshell is fully filled and therefore no electrons are available to move.
In group 2 metals, there is a property called s-p hybridization. The s- and p- subshells overlap so that metals can now move to the unfilled states of the p-subshell.
Hence, magnesium is not a good conductor.
