its smaller because the ion in negative and the atom is positive so the ion has lost 1 more electron

Is Li have the smallest ionic radius?
No, H+ ions are the smallest (proton size), hydrogen atoms and even Li+ ions are smaller than Li atoms.
What is bigger a sodium atom or a carbon atom?
A carbon Atom. Sodium Atoms Weigh Less Than Carbon Atoms And Also They Are Smaller Overall.
Why the barium ions are fast moving than sodium ions?
Sodium ion is more hydrated than barium ion hence ionic mobility is less. Note that smaller ions with greater charge density gets more hydrated
How does the strength of the attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions compare with the strength of the attraction between the sodium ions and chloride ions?
Attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions OSS less than the attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions.
How are ions of sulfur different than atoms of sulfur?
Sulfur ions are sulfur atoms that have gained two electrons.
Are metals ions larger or smaller than neutral atoms they came from?
Metal ions are smaller than the neutral atoms they came from.
Are non metallic ions smaller than the atoms?
no they are larger
Does chlorine atom has a smaller radius than chlorine ion?
Yes, considerably so. In general, positive ions are smaller than their neutral atoms, and negative ions are larger than their neutral atoms.
Is Li have the smallest ionic radius?
No, H+ ions are the smallest (proton size), hydrogen atoms and even Li+ ions are smaller than Li atoms.

Sodium ion is more hydrated than barium ion hence ionic mobility is less. Note that smaller ions with greater charge density gets more hydrated
Why sodium ions are more stable than sodium ions why?
If you're asking why Sodium ions are more stable than Sodium atoms, it is because most all atoms, besides Hydrogen and Helium, are more stable when they have 8 electrons in their valence shell. They all "want" to be like those atoms which have 8 electrons in their valence shell (the noble gasses). A Sodium atom has 11 electrons, and it is very easy for it to "give up" one electron to something else so that it will be like Neon, the closest noble gas.
A colliod has smaller particles than a solution?
No, a solution has much smaller particles than a colloid. In a solution the particles are individual atoms, molecules, or ions.
Why do the properties of an ion differ those of its parent atom?
Because ions are electrically charged particles that have different chemical properties than their parent atoms. For example, salt is not as dangerous because it contains stable sodium ions, not the reactive sodium atoms of its parent. :)

Why do chloride ions have a smaller ionic radius than sodium ions?
They do not. Sodium ions have a smaller ionic radius than chloride ions. This is because with the chloride ion, the 17 protons have more difficulty attracting 18 electrons in the Cl- ion than sodium does with 11 protons and only 10 electrons to attract with the Na+ ion. With sodium there is 1/11= 10% more attraction (by excess) than in neutral state and hence a smaller ionic radius. With chlorine 1/17= 5.5% less attraction by proton 'shortage' and hence a larger ionic radius. At the related link there are diagrams of sodium chloride showing the larger size of the chloride ion.
How are ions different from Atom?
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
