Since Be is in the 2nd group, it should have 2 valence electrons and Cl should have 7 (in 7th group), and since there is 2 Cl, then there is 14. Add 14 Cl electrons and 2 Be electrons to get 16 electrons (valence, not total)

Does Be only have 4 electrons shared in BeCl2?
No. Beryllium has only two valence electrons and forms ionic bonds with chlorine, not covalent bonds. Beryllium atoms form 2+ ions, and chlorine atoms form 1- ions in order to form the ionic compound beryllium chloride, BeCl2.
