Answer:

the size of Ca is the greatest ,then Mg is the greater on size than Be

Explanation:

if you make the  electron configuration for each of the elements, what  is the main  difference  u gonna see ?

Be 4   1s2/2s2

Mg 12 1s2 /2s2 2p6/3s2

Ca 20 1s2 /2s2 2p6/3s2 3p6 3d/4s2

see that all the elements are in the same group but are in different period

u gonna see the last electron valance shell in Ca are too far  from its nucleus but in  Be the last electrons are too close and more attracted to the atom's nucleus , so the size of Ca is the biggest then Mg then Be

How do atoms form a new substance?
dezoksy [38]
            <span> Atoms combine as the electrons from each atom are attracted to the nuclei of the atoms. This results in bonds ranging from 100% covalent to bonds with high ionic character. The combination of atoms to form compounds occurs when the compounds being formed are at lower energy than the original atoms.</span>
