Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent.
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.

Yes, the cation Na+.
A positively charged cation
The name of a cation in an atom is electron. Cation refers to an ion of negative charge. Since electron is also of the same charge, the cation is electron.
When an atom becomes a cation, it loses one or more electrons, causing the outermost electron shell to contract. This contraction of the electron cloud results in a decrease in the atomic radius of the cation compared to the neutral atom.
No single atom is the cation in ammonium chloride. The cation is polyatomic NH4+1.
This atom become a cation with the electrical charge +2.
The neutral metal atom is larger than its cation, because to form a cation, the valence energy level of electrons is lost, reducing its radius.
An atom is neutral; the cation is positive.
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.
The symbol for the cation formed when a potassium atom loses one electron is K+, and is named the potassium ion.

The atom is said to be ionized. (It can also be said to be oxidised.)
