Beryllium (Be) has a greater shielding effect than magnesium (Mg) because it has fewer electron shells. In Be, the single electron in its outer shell experiences less shielding from the inner electrons, while in Mg, the additional electron shells introduce more inner electrons that can shield the outer electrons more effectively. Therefore, the overall shielding effect is greater in Mg due to its larger number of electron shells.
