Beryllium generally forms covalent bonds. Beryllium is in the 2nd group and 2nd period so it is a very small cation. Smaller cation favors formation of covalent bonds.

∙ 11y agoBe is in group 2. You would expect the loss of 2 electrons or sharing of two electrons. You would also expect in covalent compounds the atom which would only have a share of 4 electrons to be very liable to accept coordinate bonds (pairs of electrons) from say the halogens or the oxygen family.

∙ 10y agoYes. The Be2+ ion is very small and therfore polarising i.e. the charge on the Be ion distorts the electron cloud on anions- this effect is a fporm of covalency.- (Fajans rules- ask you tutor - if you have not met these).
