$\huge{My\:reasons :-}$

Due to its small size and very high hydration energy . Lithium reacts with water less vigorously than sodium .

Answer 2

Reactivity of group 1 metals increases down the group since their radii increases and it is easier to donate electrons due to less attraction by the nucleus

Radius of Lithium is smaller than Sodium.

Therefore it reacts less vigorously than sodium.
