It increases due to repulsion
The atomic radius depends on the the number of electron shells, total negative charge, positive charge of the nucleus, atomic mass.
Along a period, nuclear charge increases. hence, atomic radius decreases.
When there is an anion (negative charge) the radius will be larger because it is more full whereas it will be smaller if it is a positive charge because of less electrons. ex largest to smallest radius (K-,K, K+)
it neets to loose 2 electrons to have a full outer shell.
The positive ion lost an electron.
Increasing positive nuclear charge
The atomic radius depends on the the number of electron shells, total negative charge, positive charge of the nucleus, atomic mass.
the positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius

A radius is either a geometric concept or a bone in the forearm. In either case, it does not have an ionic charge.
In both cases, the radius can be any positive number.
A smaller atomic radius for beryllium would result from an increased positive charge in its nucleus, leading to a stronger attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons. This increased attraction pulls the electron cloud closer to the nucleus, resulting in a smaller atomic radius.
