Carbon can be used to reduce the oxides of metals below aluminium in the Reactivity Series. (Reduction is the removal of oxygen.) For example,carbon is used in the extraction of zinc, iron, and lead. ... Electrolysis – the metal compound is melted, then broken down by electricity (electrolysed).

Sodium(Na) is a metal of high reactivity. Metals are extracted from their ores by reacting with a reducing agent such as carbon or hydrogen. Metals that are more reactive are extracted by electrolysis.
In electrolysis, an electric current is used to split the molten metal ore to produce the pure metal.
Sodium is a very reactive metal, high in the reactivity series, so electrolysis is the method of choice.
