Amongst all the halides of magnesium Fluoride hasthe highest ionic character.Fluroide is considered to be the 13th mostabundant element on the earth's crust.
Fluoride is present mostly in fresh and saltwater sources
and is naturally present at low concentration.

Hello Dear.
Here is your answer.

⇒ The halide of magnesium which shows highest Ionic character is Florine.
⇒ So magnesium Floride { MgF₂ } has highest ionic character.
Reason/ Explanation → MgF₂ Shows highest Ionic character because the greater electronegativity of Florine , which cause highest polarization of bond. Electronegativity decreases in going down the group.
Note- Florine is the highest electronegative element in periodic table ( approx 4 )
F > Cl > Br > I
So Florine polarize its Covalent bond with Magnesium.

Hope it helps.
