hey dear friend!!!!!:)
because Thus, in potassium, the outermost electron is better shielded from the attractive force of the nucleus. It follows, therefore, that this outermost electron is more easily lost than it is in sodium, so potassium can be converted to ionic form more readilythan sodium. Hence, potassium is more reactive than sodium.
hope it may help u!!!!
add me brainlist plz !

The reaction of metals depends upon their position in the activity series of metals.
The activity series is a series in which the most reactive element is placed at the top and the least reactive at the bottom.
This is how the series is arranged -
K
Na
Ca
Mg
Al
Zn
Fe
Pb
[H]
Cu
Hg
Ag
P
Au
Since the position of potassium (K) is higher than that of sodium (Na), therefore potassium is more reactive than sodium.
