    The answer is Beryllium atom has a larger radius by 2 times.

    Nitrogen atom: 5.6 * 10⁻¹¹ = 5.6 * 10⁻¹⁻¹⁰ = 5.6 * 10⁻¹ * 10⁻¹⁰ = 0.56 * 10⁻¹⁰

    Beryllium atom: 1.12 * 10⁻¹⁰

    Since 1.12 is bigger than 0.56, then the radius of beryllium atom is larger of the radius of nitrogen atom. Let's see by how many times:

    1.12 * 10⁻¹⁰ : 0.56 * 10⁻¹⁰ = 1.12 : 0.56 = 2
