Because if you pass a current through a piece of sodium (as through any other conductor) it will heat up. If it got too hot in air it may just catch fire.

Is it dangerous to test sodium for electrical conductivity:
Explanation:
- Sodium metal is a good conductor of electricity and heat because it has only one electron in its valence shell, resulting in weak metallic bonding and free electrons, which carry energy.
- If we use it it will heat up and fired.
- So, it is dangerous to test sodium for electrical conductivity.
