The smallest atom among beryllium (Be), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), and magnesium (Mg) is beryllium. Atomic size generally increases down a group in the Periodic Table due to the addition of electron shells. Since beryllium is located higher in the group than the others, it has fewer electron shells and, therefore, a smaller atomic radius.
