How reactive is an atom of Sodium(Na) and why? Question 1 options: Sodium (Na) is very reactive because it does not have a full valence shell. Sodium (Na) is very reactive because it does not have enough protons in the nucleus. Sodium (Na) is not very reactive because it does not have a full valence shell. Sodium (Na) is not very reactive because it can only bond with Chlorine (Cl) to become salt. Save

I'm pretty sure the answer is the first one. The fact that it doesn't have a full valence shell means that electrons from other atoms can react and bond with the sodium atom.
Hope this helps x
