Answer:
Because Na lies in the first group of alkali metals and ionisation energy is the least in extreme left of a period...and it a strong reducing agent than Li because It has valency one can easily lose electrons and reduce other elements

Answer:
in solution the reducing nature decreases from Li to Na and then increases to Cs. The greater reducing character of Li than Na is due to its greater hydration energy. Lithium being small in size has high ionization energy. ... However, Li is stronger reducing agent than Na due to greater hydration energy
