If fluoride means fluoride salt of a less reactive metal than magnesium:
Magnesium + Fluoride ion ----> Magnesium fluoride
Mg + 2 F - ----> MgF2
If fluoride refers to fluorine gas:
Magnesium + Fluorine ----> Magnesium fluoride
Mg + F2 ----> MgF2

How many moles of fluorine molecules react with one mole of magnesium atoms?
One: The formula for magnesium fluoride is MgF2. Since each mole of fluorine molecules, which have the formula F2, contains two moles of fluorine atoms, one mole of each is the right ratio.
