In a few aggravates, the quantity of electrons encompassing the focal 
iota in a steady atom is less than eight. Beryllium is an antacid 
earth metal thus might be relied upon to shape ionic bonds. Nonetheless, its 
small size and to some degree higher ionization vitality contrasted with other 
metals really prompt beryllium framing essentially sub-atomic mixes. 
Since beryllium just has two valence electrons, it doesn't ordinarily achieve 
an octet through sharing of electrons. The Lewis structure of vaporous 
beryllium hydride (BeH2)consists of two single covalent bonds 
amongst Be and H (see figure beneath).
