The structures of beryllium chloride in solid state and vapour phase are dimeric and chain.

In vapour phase, at above 900^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, \mathrm{BeCl}_2is monomeric haring a line ar structure - \mathrm{Cl}-\mathrm{Be}-\mathrm{Cl}.

The banding in \mathrm{BeCl}_2 is covalent and \mathrm{Be} atom accommodates 2+2=4 electrons in the two sp -hybrid orbitals.

Below 900^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, beryllium chloride in vapour phase exists as a mixture of monomer \mathrm{BeCl}_2 and dimes \mathrm{Be}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_4

Hence option 3 is correct.
