Mg (s) + Sn²⁺ (aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺ (aq) + Sn (s)

Explanation:

Let's consider the following molecular equation.

Mg (s) + SnSO₄ (aq) ⇄ MgSO₄ (aq) + Sn (s)

The full ionic equation includes al the ions and the species that do not dissociate in water.

Mg (s) + Sn²⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) + Sn (s)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction (not spectator ions) and the species that do not dissociate in water.

Mg (s) + Sn²⁺ (aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺ (aq) + Sn (s)
