Answer:
Na+
Explanation:
because an electron has been removed from the valence shell and so the nucleus will pull the electrons with a great force of attraction
the answer isn't mg++ because its nucleus has an extra proton which will attract the electrons even more as compared to na+, thus reducing the overall size of the atom.

Answer:
Na+ has larger size as compared to Mg++.
Explanation:
Mg++ has more protons so the shells come closer to nucleus as the electrons are less so they experience more force of attraction, so Mg++ is smaller in size than Na+.
