    Solution:

    The above statement is true.
    Na+ is, therefore, smaller since it contains lesser shells than Na. The number of protons in sodium atoms and ions is the same. While the total number of protons is the same in both circumstances, that is eleven, the total number of electrons is ten in the case of Na+ and eleven in the case of Na. The electrons will join the atoms to create a connection. The sodium atom's electrical configuration is two, eight, and one. Additionally, Na+ has an electronic configuration of two and eight.
