Because in Na+ the only electron in outer most shell is removed hence effectively it has now one shell less than Na
Comments

There is 10 electrons and 11protons in Na+ ion. So effective nuclear charge increases. Because of this Na+ is smaller than Na.
Comments

Na has an electron in its outermost shell. Na+ is formed by removing the one valence electron from the outermost shell.Hence a shell is lesser in number than that of Na. That's why Na+ has lower size than Na.

Na loss one electron from outer most shell and formation taking place Na+ their is also reduces it's size .

10 electron and 11 protan

After giving one electron their atomic atomic radius become less show the radius of an A+ cations is less than Na atom
Comments

No of electrons in a shell decreases implies more nuclear force of attraction per electron so size reduces and atomic,/,ionic radius decreases.

In a metallic bond, why positive ions are called kernels, not cations?
The kernel is an atom without its valence electrons that are weakly bonded; no electron belongs to one nucleus, valence electrons can move one kernel to another. So it is known as kernel, not cation (have valency).
