Animation of the bonding in a beryllium hydride BeH2 molecule. Initially a beryllium atom has two populated electron orbitals, an inner spherical 1s shell blue and an outer spherical 2s shell grey. Beryllium typically forms ionic compounds through the loss of the 2s electrons, but it can also form covalent compounds with hydrogen. In beryllium hydride, one 2s electron rises to a vacant 2p level red, and the 2p orbital and the 2s orbital hybridise, producing two identical sp orbitals dark blue, arranged pointing away from each other. These then bond with hydrogen atoms, with a release of energy flash.
