The radius of Na⁺ ion is smaller than that of Na is due to the following reasons:-

(i) The effective nuclear charge of Na⁺

(ii) The disappearance of 3s orbital from its outermost shell electronic configuration.

Metallic character- Tendency to lose electrons.

Non-Metallic character- Tendency to accept electrons.

Across the period the metallic character decreases whereas non-metallic character increases across the period.
