Yes, beryllium nitride primarily exhibits ionic bonding due to the large electronegativity difference between beryllium and nitrogen. While there may be some covalent character in the bonding, the overall nature is primarily ionic.


Does magnesium nitride have a ionic or covalent bond?

In this case, Mg has a value of 1.3 and N has a value of 3.0, so it is an ionic bond. Ionic and covalent bonds are on a continuum. Some "ionic" compounds are in fact partly covalent because the positive cation (e.g. magnesium) polarizes (attracts the electrons of) the anion forming a stronger bond than if it was 100% ionic. A table of ELECTRONEGATIVITY can help one determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent. The bigger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic the bond.
