Which of the following statement is correct ?

A. size of Cl atoms greater than Cl- ion
B. size of Na+ ion less than Na atom
C. size of Na atom less than Na+ ion
D. size of Cl- is less than Na+

  • The statement “size of Na+ ion < Na atom” is correct, as the removal of an electron to form a positive ion reduces the size of the atom due to the increased nuclear charge attracting the remaining electrons more strongly.
