Sodium is a very soft metal and therefore it can be cut easily by knife..

PurvaMundada: mark the brainliest

kareena42: why sodium is soft then?

PurvaMundada: Oh god! That's what I wrote now..

PurvaMundada: No other reason...

kareena42: wait i have found the most relevant answer........... Na is highly electropositive in nature, that is why it can be cut with a knife.....Did u mentioned that anywhere?

kareena42: u stated that due to the presence of metallic bonding, here bonding is not involved.

PurvaMundada: Due to the presence of weak metallic bonding alkali metals are soft and can be cut with a knife.

PurvaMundada: dear this is also a relevant answer..

kareena42: okay thanks

PurvaMundada: Happy to help!
