An industrial chemist is given a sample of liquid phosphorus trichloride (PCl3\text{PCl}_3PCl3) and a sample of molten magnesium chloride (MgCl2\text{MgCl}_2MgCl2).
Describe a simple electrical experiment the chemist could perform to demonstrate that molten magnesium chloride contains charged particles that are free to move, whereas liquid phosphorus trichloride does not.
