We evaluate the mass of the B{sub s0} scalar meson and the coupling constant in the B{sub s0}BK vertex in the framework of QCD sum rules. We consider the B{sub s0} as a tetraquark state to evaluate its mass. We get m{sub B{sub s0}}=(5.85{+-}0.13) GeV, which is in agreement, considering the uncertainties, with predictions supposing it as a bs state or a BK bound state with J{sup P}=0{sup +}. To evaluate the g{sub B{sub s0}BK} coupling, we use the three-point correlation functions of the vertex, considering B{sub s0} as a normal bs state. The obtained coupling constant is: g{sub B{sub s0}BK}=(16.3{+-}3.2) GeV. This number is in agreement with light-cone QCD sum rules calculation. We have also compared the decay width of the B{sub s0}{yields}BK process considering the B{sub s0} to be a bs state and a BK molecular state. The width obtained for the BK molecular state is twice as big as the width obtained for the bs state. Therefore, we conclude that with the knowledge of the mass and the decay width of the B{sub s0} meson, one can discriminate between the different theoretical proposals for its structure.
