HELLO MAHESHWARI,
In born haber cycle NaF2 and MgF2 will not form because of low lattice energy and even if they are formed in the cycle they will be broken due to low lattice energy
THANK YOU

Dear Student,
Na and Mg have low ionization vitality though F has high electron partiality. The high cross section energies of Na, Mg and F and the high contrast in the ionization vitality and the electron proclivity does not permit the development of NaF2 and MgF2. 
 
Cheers!!

The lattice energy for formation of Naf2 and Mgf2 is small . Ionic compound with low lattice energy can not be formed easily. Hope you understand thank☺☺
