Answer:
Yes Na+ is smaller than Na because Na+ is formed when an electron is lost from the Na atom,Thus the effective nuclear charge increases bcz the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons . This results in bringing the valence shell a little closer to the nucleus because of a very strong nuclear pull.
