Beryllium halide is covalent in nature and thus, soluble in organic solvents like ethanol while halides of other alkaline earth metals are ionic in nature and thus, insoluble in organic solvents like ethanol.

This is due to the small size of Be which increases its polarizing power and thereby increasing the covalent character of the halides.
