The structure of solid BeCl2 is an unusual chain polymer with two chlorine atoms bridging between the Be atoms. The ClBeCl bond angle is less than tetrahedral, at 980 . It therefore achieves an octet of electrons and has an approximate hybridisation of sp3 .
The structure of liquid is dimeric with 2 chlorines bridging, Be does not achieve the octet in this.
In the gas the dimer persists up to around 900 0when it is fully dissociated into the linear Cl-Be-Cl monomer. This is linear as predicted by VSEPR.

Is beryllium chloride polar?
Beryllium chloride is ionic so it is polar in a sense.
Why does beryllium chloride has more covalent character than barium chloride?
As beryllium is smaller than barium and it is more polarising, it will distort the perfect ionic sphere and attract some outer shell electrons of barium and give it a covalent character.
What is the name of this element BeCrO4?
There are three elements that make up the compound beryllium chromate: Be = beryllium Cr = chromium O = oxygen
What is the composition of ferric chloride?
Ferric chloride contains the elements iron and chlorine.
What elements belong to alkaline earth?
beryllium magnesium calcium strontium barium radium
Is Beryllium compound element or mixture?
Yes. It is the compound of the elements Beryllium and fluorine.
What other elements can beryllium combine with?
Beryllium (Be) will combine in a 1-1 ratio with elements from group 16. It will combine in a 1-2 ratio with elements from group 17 (the halogens.) It will combine in a 3-2 ratio with elements from group 15. Examples: beryllium oxide - BeO; beryllium chloride - BeCl2; beryllium nitride - Be3N2.
