This is a great description. The one thing that's missing is /why/ a smaller ion is better. Is this because of energy lost by some equivalent of drag as the ion

This is a great description. The one thing that's missing is /why/ a smaller ion is better. Is this because of energy lost by some equivalent of drag as the ion travels through the solution?
