Explanation:

Effective nuclear charge per atom in Na+ ion is more than Na, so electrons in Na+ are attracted more to the nucleus hence atomic radius in Na+ ion is small.

Answer:

Na+ ion is smaller than Na because Na looses its one electron to become Na+ ion so the positive charge of nucleus per electron present will increase and it result more electrostatic force of attraction increases . Hence size decreases.
