na has atomic no. 11
so it has one electron left in its outermost shell
so to achieve stability are the nearest inert gas combination it has fill it outermost shell completely so it has a capacity to lost one electron and take part in chemical reaction , so it is reactive
na+ has completely filled outermost shell as + signindicates that it has lost one electron and have become stable so there is no need to take part in chemical reaction , hence it it is unreactive
so na is more reactive than na+

(Sodium Ion) is more reactive.
Moreover, Na(Sodium) isn't even reactive because this smybol shows that Sodium is in octet configuration and is stable.
has a configuration of
Hence, it is reactive and will lose 1 electron to become stable.
has a configuration of
Since, it's outermost shell is full, it has attained stable configuration.
This means that it is no more reactive since it won't form any bond.
