Explanation:

Na+ ion is smaller than Na atom because Na atom has 11 electron and 11 proton but when it looses its one electron there remain 10 electron and 11 proton consecutively the nuclear charge increase and the electrostatic force of attraction between nucleus and last orbit increase that's why Na+ ion is smaller than Na atom
