Na have bigger size than Na+
Since Na+ is an cation, after losing an electron it forms and have least no of electron as compared to Na .So the nuclear charge increase in Na+ And attract it's electron more .Thus makes it size smaller than Na

Here Na+ will be smaller in size than Na...
Size of the atom is the distance between the electron in the valence shell and the Nucleus.
In Na atom number of electron is 11 whereas there are 10 electron in Na+ (as Na looses its one electron from its outermost shell)
The electronic config of Na : K -2 , L -8 , M -1
Electronic Config. of Na+ : K - 2 , L -8
One shell is missing in Na+ so Size of Na+ will be smaller than Na...
