The metal beryllium (Be) and the nonmetal chlorine (Cl) form a polar covalent bond, forming beryllium chloride (also called beryllium dichloride), ##”BeCl”_2″##. The electronegativity of Be is 1.57 and the electronegativity of Cl is 3.16. ##3.16-1.57=1.59##.

You can find a table of electronegativities at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronegativity
