Virtually all compounds of Group 7, the halogens, with metals are soluble because they contain ionic bonding.
MgF2 is soluble on this account.

Magnesium fluoride (MgF2) is soluble in water. First off, MgF2 is an ionic compound. Meaning, it is a highly polar substance, which, in effect, can dissolve in other polar substance such as water. Also, there is a rule on solubility. If I remember correctly, all halogens (group 17) are soluble except when combined with Pb, Hg, and Ba

magnesium fluoride is an ionic compound and ionic compounds are virtually soluble in water.
halides (Cl, Br, I) are insoluble in Ag+, Pb2+, Hg2^2+
