No, magnesium is not smaller than beryllium. In the Periodic Table, magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12, while beryllium (Be) has an atomic number of 4. As you move down the periodic table, atomic size generally increases due to the addition of electron shells, making magnesium larger than beryllium.

What atom has smaller ionization energy Be or Mg?

Beryllium (Be) has a smaller ionization energy than magnesium (Mg) because beryllium has a smaller atomic size and therefore the electrons are held less tightly, making it easier to remove an electron from a beryllium atom compared to a magnesium atom.

Would beryllium or sodium have properties like to magnesium?

Sodium would have properties more similar to magnesium than beryllium. This is because sodium and magnesium are both in the same group/family (group 2) of the periodic table, known as the alkaline earth metals, whereas beryllium is in group 2. Sodium and magnesium share similar chemical behavior, such as forming similar types of compounds and reactions.
