Q. Which halide of magnesium has highest ionic character ?

MHT CETMHT CET 2016

Solution:

Magnesium fluoride $\left( Mg F _{2}\right)$ has the highest ionic character. In ionic bonding, there is large electronegativity difference between two atoms, causing the bonding to be more polar have maximum ionic character

$MgI _{2}< MgBr _{2}< MgCl _{2}< MgF _{2}$
