i have a dell xps 1645 whose motherboard is gone, can i assemble a desktop with a motherboard for 2nd generation intel processors

You could, but the cost of finding a reliable motherboard that still has enough life left in it to make it worth purchasing would exceed the worth of the platform by a fair margin. Maybe if you can find a used one on Ebay from a very reputable buyer, but there is no way to ensure any board that old isn't going to die on the first day, or next month.

Would it work?

i7-720QM is mobile cpu. You can not install it into desktop motherboard.

BTW - those motherboards listed are for desktop Intel core-i 2nd and 3rd gen cpus. i7-720QM - is mobile core-i 1st gen.

Would it work?

No, it will not. As Skynet rising already said, that is a laptop processor and it will not work in a desktop board. I said it "COULD" work, because I've seen people assemble and use laptop motherboards/cpus in modified desktop configurations before that were Frankensteined together, but honestly it's a terrible idea UNLESS you already have all the parts salvaged from something else and simply have a broken display panel on the laptop and need to USE it like a desktop.

In your case, that CPU is pretty much worthless to you in any meaningful way.
