The electronegativity of Be and O are 1.57 and 3.44 respectively. The difference in the electronegativity is 1.87. Hence an ionic bond is formed between these two or in other words, BeO is an ionic ompound.

Note: If the electronegativity difference between two atoms forming a bond is more than 1.7 according to Pauling's scale, then ionic bonds are formed and if the the electronegativity difference between two atoms forming a bond is less than 1.7, then covalent bonds are formed.
