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.

In a double covalent bond two electrons are shared between two atoms.?
Actually 4 electrons are being shared between 2 atoms. Each atom provides 2 electrons for a total of 4. If only 2 electrons are being shared, it is a single covalent bond.
What is the general location of the electrons in a covalent bond?
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all.
Whattwo oxygen atoms to form oxygen gas how many electrons are shared?
each oxygen shares two electrons, resulting in 4 electrons shared
Why distinguishes single double and triple covalent bonds?
A single covalent bond results when 2 electrons are shared between 2 atoms. A double bond results when 4 electrons are shared between 2 atoms, and a triple bond results when 6 electrons are shared between 2 atoms.
How do elements share electrons?
Well in chemical bonds between two atoms there are single (2 electrons shared), double (4 electrons shared) triple 6 electrons shared and quadruple bonds (8 electrons) shared.Where electrons are delocalised across more than 2 atoms, then many electrons can be shared- the ultimate is a metal where in a solid sample of a metallic element all of the valence electrons of each atom are shared so that number is very large.
Why more stable structure for BeCl2 does not obey octet rule?
because Be has only 4 electrons and has 2 valence electron

What is the general location of the electrons in a covalent bond?
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all.
Can atoms combine less or more than the octet rule?
Yes. In the case of BeCl2 and BF3, there are only 4 and 6 electrons on Be and B respectively and not eight. Similarly, in the case of SF6 and PCl5, there are 12 and 10 electrons on S and P respectively and not eight.
Describe the general location of electrons in a covalent bond?
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all. They lie between the two nuclei of the bonding atoms. The shared electrons are typically near the middle of the bond between the 2 atoms, in a covalent bond. They may be slightly closer to 1 atom or the other, due to small differences in electronegativity.
What kind of bond is it when their are 4 electrons are being schared?
If electrons are being shared, then it is covalent bonding.
How many electron pairs are shared between carbon atoms in a molecule that has the formula C2H4?
in C2H6 only one pair of electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.
Whattwo oxygen atoms to form oxygen gas how many electrons are shared?
each oxygen shares two electrons, resulting in 4 electrons shared
Why distinguishes single double and triple covalent bonds?
A single covalent bond results when 2 electrons are shared between 2 atoms. A double bond results when 4 electrons are shared between 2 atoms, and a triple bond results when 6 electrons are shared between 2 atoms.
How many total electrons are shared in a triple covalent bond?
6 electrons are shared to make a triple bond or three pairs
How do elements share electrons?
Well in chemical bonds between two atoms there are single (2 electrons shared), double (4 electrons shared) triple 6 electrons shared and quadruple bonds (8 electrons) shared.Where electrons are delocalised across more than 2 atoms, then many electrons can be shared- the ultimate is a metal where in a solid sample of a metallic element all of the valence electrons of each atom are shared so that number is very large.
How many electrons does carbon atoms share?
This question seems a bit unclear. Perhaps it meant something like: "how many electrons can be shared with carbon atoms?" Anyway, a carbon atom can share 4 electrons with other atoms, including other carbon atoms.
