FORMATION OF BeCl2:
Each Chlorine atom, 1s22s22p63s23p5 , has one
unshared electron in a p orbital.
The half filled p orbital overlaps head-on with a half
full hybrid sp orbital of the beryllium to form a sigma
bond.

Conclusion
IF you can draw a Lewis structure for a species,
and count electronic regions around central atom,
you can immediately determine:
the shape of the species about the central atom
the hybridization of the species based on the
central atom
