    The valence electrons determine how reactive an element is, and since Sodium and other alkali metals could easily lose an electron, they become very reactive to be stable.

    Alkali metals such as Sodium are highly reactive because the outer most electron is the only electron in the valence shell which can be easily donated in order to obtain a stable octet.
