Answer 2

Sodium is a silvery-white metal with high reactivity.

Explanation:

Sodium is an alkali metal that belongs to Periodic Table Group 1A. The letter Na is used to signify it. It has an atomic mass of 22u and an atomic number of 11. It possesses a total of 11 electrons. Na has the electrical configuration$1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1$.

Sodium is a silvery-white coloured metal. It is very soft to touch. Due to its very high reactive nature, it is stored in Kerosene to prevent it from making contact with atmospheric oxygen or moisture.

When sodium comes in contact with oxygen or moisture it form Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). This reaction is highly exothermic.
