Final answer:

Beryllium (Be) has a smaller atomic radius compared to strontium (Sr) in Group 2 of the periodic table.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, atomic radius increases as you move down a group on the periodic table and decreases as you move across a period. Beryllium (Be) and strontium (Sr) are in Group 2 of the periodic table. Since Be is above Sr in the same group, it has a smaller atomic radius.
