Sodium Atom has a larger atomic radius than chlorine, because as we go across the period the nuclear charge (charge on the atom) increases, also outermost electrons occupy the same principle energy level as we go across the period(3 sub energy level) so the electrons in chlorine are held more closely and tightly together than that of sodium....so sodium has a larger atomic radius
