Hola mate !! ✌️✌️
here's your answer ....⬇️⬇️
Na+ ion is formed when Na atom loses one electron . Due to this , the effective nuclear charge increases as number of electrons become less than that of protons .
Hence , the nucleus attracts electrons towards it more effectively. Hence , the size decreases .
hope it helps !! ❤️❤️
