This is probably the only metal oxide that is covalent.
- Far from it, covalent and ionic are just two extremes, metal oxides cover the whole range in between. See for example manganese heptoxide, Mn2O7. Physchim62 10:33, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Thermal conductivity
The thermal conductivity of BeO at 0°C is typically around 330 W·m−1·K−1, which is comparable to that of pure copper. Anyone know how to add this to the chembox table? DFH 20:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
But it is an electrical resistor, unusual. 12.10.127.58 21:11, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
