By massive i assume you mean heavier. This happens because the gravitational pull of the central protons and neutrons increases. causing the "electron cloud" to become more condensed. technically not smaller just take up less area.
Beryllium is the alkaline earth element with the least massive atoms.
Smaller atoms have higher ionization energy compared to larger atoms because smaller atoms have a stronger attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons, making it harder to remove an electron from a smaller atom.
Sodium ions are smaller than sodium atoms because when sodium atoms lose an electron to become an ion, they lose the outermost electron from their electron cloud. This results in a decrease in the electron cloud size around the nucleus, making the ion smaller than the neutral atom.
For the same reason that one dozen pencils has a smaller mass than one dozen bricks. Each atom of carbon weighs less than each atom of sulfur, and a mole of each has the same number of atoms, so a mole S will weigh more than a mole C.
Yes, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is smaller in size compared to a bromine molecule (Br2). Nitrogen dioxide consists of one nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms, while a bromine molecule comprises two bromine atoms, making it larger in size.
The atoms become smaller in atomic radius.

It can be possible to count the number of atoms in some situations. As electronic circuits become smaller, there are occasions where a transistor is made from tens of atoms rather than hundreds or thousands. With the right tools, scientists are able to count the individual atoms. For the rest of us, we have to make do with measuring a substance and calculating the number of atoms from the data we have. We can measure the mass of a solid or the volume of a gas for example. If we know the substance we are measuring, we can use established calculations to work out the number of atoms (give or take several million).
The nucleus, consisting of protons and neutrons, is much more massive than the electrons.
the bigger atoms exploded making much smaller ones

Atoms, because molecules are atoms bonded together.
Sodium ions are smaller than sodium atoms because when sodium atoms lose an electron to become an ion, they lose the outermost electron from their electron cloud. This results in a decrease in the electron cloud size around the nucleus, making the ion smaller than the neutral atom.
Protons are smaller than atoms; in fact, protons are located within atoms.
Yes, ALL matter has atoms. If it exsits, it has atoms.
Much smaller.
Atoms, compounds are two or more atoms bonded together
