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

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.

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.
